Safety Instructions
How to avoid fatal injury
by electric shock!
J Inspect the wattmeter, additional equipment and the
electrical appliances you wish to test before every use to
ensure that they are intact. Damaged electrical appliances
and buckled / kinked mains leads or bare wires increase
the risk of an electric shock.
J Do not operate the wattmeter if mains leads or mains
plugs on the electrical appliances you wish to test are
damaged.
CAUTION! Damaged mains leads pose a risk of fatal
injury by electric shock.
J The connector plug

way. Do not use adapter plugs in conjunction with earthed
electrical appliances. Using unmodified mains plugs and
proper outlets reduces the risk of an electric shock.
of the wattmeter must fit into the
22
J Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as those
of pipes, heaters, ovens and fridges. There is an increased
risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
J Keep the wattmeter away from rain and
moisture. If water enters the wattmeter there
is an increased risk of an electric shock.
j Remove the isolating strip from between the two round
cell batteries (Alkaline LR44, 1.5 V ) on the back of
the battery compartment cover 21.
j Close the battery compartment by replacing the battery
compartment cover 21. Please make sure that you

Note: Make sure that you replace the battery compart-
ment cover 21 the right way round. The rounded corners
of the battery compartment cover 21 must fit into the
rounded recesses in the battery compartment.

Q
Set the time
The time is displayed as soon as the isolating strip has been
removed. The symbol 15 also appears.
Note: the “Current measurement” function is the stand-
ard setting for the wattmeter. As soon as the isolating

0 and 1. Ideally, the power factor is 1.
Note: the price per kWh is set to 0 on delivery.
Note: you can set two different electricity rates (e.g. daytime
and night-time rate) for the power cost meter. In order to use
this function, you must set the starting times for electricity rate
1 and 2.
IMPORTANT! Electricity rate 1 is automatically the rate
that was programmed first.

Q
Restore delivery condition
Malfunctions may occur if the device is exposed to a strong
electromagnetic, high-frequency field. If malfunctions occur,
e.g. the buttons no longer respond or there are irregularities
in the display, please return the device to delivery condition.
To do this, remove the batteries for several minutes and then
place them back in the device (see “Changing the batteries”).
If malfunctions persist, change the position of the device.
IMPORTANT! Please note that all data will be deleted.
