Information that requires special emphasis.

Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device

complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following conditions:

1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.

interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated

in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential

area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at their expense. The following

techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:

1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or

is not the source of the interference.

2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device

Explosion hazard. An expired battery can cause hydrogen gas buildup

inside the instrument. Replace the battery before it expires. Do not

store the instrument for long periods with a battery installed.

W A R N I N G

Potential fire hazard. Use only alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH) in

the meter. Other battery types or incorrect installation can cause a fire. Never mix

battery types in the meter.

N O T I C E

The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the battery compartment becomes

wet, remove and dry the batteries and dry the interior of the compartment. Check

the battery contacts for corrosion and clean them if necessary.

N O T I C E

When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not

indicate a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH

batteries are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does

not indicate complete charge, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of

instrument operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
