from any circuit, remove the test leads from the

input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening

the case. Do not operate with open case. Install only

the same type of fuse or equivalent.

6.1 Battery and Fuse Replacement

conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will be blown off

(become high impedance) to protect the user and the instrument.

Most measuring functions through this terminal will then be open

circuit. The series fusible resistors and the spark gaps should then be

replaced by qualified technician. Refer to the LIMITED WARRANTY

section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.

9. LIMITED WARRANTY

With the exception of the batteries and the fuse, this instrument is

warranted against defects of material or workmanship which develop

within a period of one (1) year after the date of purchase by the

original owner. Proof of date of purchase will be required when

applying for repair or replacement under this guarantee. For this

reason, we strongly suggest that you keep your sales receipt safely

in your intrument storage case.

In the event a flaw develops in any of the units, please return it to

your dealer who will arrange repair or replacement. The manufacturer

will either repair or replace the tool ( at the manufacturer’s option)

free of charge providing the instrument is still under warranty. If the

warranty has expired, there will be a repair charge payable to your

dealer when you pick up the unit. When a unit has been repaired

or replaced under warranty, the replacement unit will extend the

warranty period of the original unit for six (6) months after the date of

replacement or until the original warranty expires, whichever is the

longest period. This warranty shall not apply to any problem, failure

or damage caused by improper use or inadequate maintenance

or care.

The manufacturer shall not be obligated to provide service under

this warranty or to repair damage resulting from attempts by

unauthorized persons to repair or service the units, other than to

replace the batteries, or to repair damage resulting from improper

use. Specifically if there is evidence of an attempt to open the units

the warranty is void.

Any implied warranties arising out of the sale of the units including

but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for

a particular purpose are limited in duration to the above mentioned

one (1) year period, and the manufacturer shall not be liable for loss

of use of the instrument or other incidental damages, expenses or

economic loss. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how

long implied warranties last or the exclusion or limitation of incidental

or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
