Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unless you are qualified to do so and have the relevant

calibration, performance test, and service information.

5.1. General Maintenance

To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter, do not get water inside the case. Remove

the test leads and any input signals before opening the case
