• Handle the meter gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage the circuit boards and can cause it to work
improperly.
• Keep the meter away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
• Wipe the meter with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean the meter.
• Use only a fresh battery of the recommended size and
type. Always remove an old or weak battery. It can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits.
