LCD Digital Multimeter
(220-0185A)                Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 16939

The MICRONTA LCD DIGITAL MULTIMETER is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship, and should be treated with care.  The suggestions below will
help you enjoy this product for many years.

    Keep it dry.  If water should get on it, wipe it off.  Water contains
    minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

    Do not store in hot areas.  High temperatures can shorten the life of
    electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain
    plastics.

    Do not drop it.  This might cause permanent damage.  The circuit
    boards and case can be broken.

    Do not use or store in dusty, dirty areas.  This will cause premature
    wear of moving parts.

    Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
    to clean it.  Wipe it with a soft cloth dampened in a mild soap-and-
    water solution.

Be sure batteries are the correct type - do not use general purpose
batteries if alkaline batteries are recommended.  Remove old, weak,
batteries - they can leak chemicals that damage electronic circuits.

If the unit is not working properly, take it to your local Radio Shack.
The personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, arrange service.

A WORD ABOUT SAFETY

Every precaution has been taken in the design of the meter to ensure that
it is as safe s we can make it.  However, safe operation depends on you,
the operator.  We recommend that you follow these simple safety rules:

1.  Never apply voltages to the meter that exceed the limits given in
    the specifications.  Never apply more than 1000V DC or 750V RMS AC
    between input jacks and/or ground.

2.  Use extreme caution when working with voltages above 100V.  Always
    disconnect power from the circuit being measured before connecting test
    leads to high-voltage points.

3.  Never connect to a source of voltage when the "Kohn or "Diode Check"
    function is selected.

4.  Always discharge filter capacitors before attaching test leads to a
    power supply.

5.  Battery and/or fuse replacements should only be performed after the
    test leads have been disconnected and POWER is OFF.

6.  Never operate unless the battery cover is in place and fully closed.

7.  Since many AC-DC sets have a potentially "hot" chassis, be sure that
    the top of your workbench and the floor underneath it are made of non-
    conductive materials.

The MICRONTA digital multimeter comes  to you fully calibrated and tested.
Under normal use, no further adjustment should be necessary.  In case the
meter should require repair, do NOT try to adjust yourself; bring it to
your nearest Radio Shack store.  SERVICE BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
