Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are
marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste
bin, similar to the illustration shown left. Under the
waste bin symbol is the chemical symbol for the
harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium, „Pb“
stands for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.
You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations
from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und
Reaktorsicherheit (Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature
Conservation and Reactor Safety).
7.2. General Maintenance
Your digital multimeter is an example of superior design and
craftsman-ship. The following suggestions will help you care
for your meter so you can enjoy it for years.
*
Keep your meter dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode
the electronic circuits.
*
Handle your meter gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and cause the meter to
work improperly.
