| 1. If the tester is not going to be used, or is being stored for a long period, remove the battery and store separately from the tester to avoid damage from battery leakage. 2. The four temperature ranges for the tester exists to satisfy European Standards requirements; the instrument can be used over the full working temperature range by using the temperature coefficient to calculate accuracy at the ambient temperature of use. 3. Covers all deviations caused by influence quantities E1-E5. If the deviation E4 caused by high probe or auxiliary probe resistance is higher than specified flashes. Measured values are outside of the specified operating uncertainty. | ||
