Handling prerequisite

> Only operate the product properly, for its intended purpose and

within the parameters specified in the technical data. Do not use any force.

> Dangers may also arise from the systems being measured or

the measuring environment: Note the safety regulations valid in your area when performing the measurements.

Page 5

2 Safety and the environment

> Do not perform contact measurements on non-insulated, live

parts.

> Do not store the product together with solvents. Do not use any

desiccants. These substances may impair the operation and reliability of the instrument.

> Carry out only the maintenance and repair work on this

instrument that is described in the documentation. Follow the prescribed steps exactly. Use only original spare parts from Testo.

> Temperatures given on probes/sensors relate only to the

measuring range of the sensors. Do not expose handles and feed lines to any temperatures in excess of 70 °C unless they are expressly permitted for higher temperatures.

For products with Bluetooth® (optional)

Changes or modifications that have been made without the explicit consent of the responsible approval authority, may cause the retraction of the type approval. Data transfer may be disturbed by equipment that uses the same ISM band, e.g. WLAN, microwave ovens, ZigBee.

The use of radio communication links is not permitted in aeroplanes and hospitals, among others. For this reason the following points must be ensured before entering:

The data transfer function must not be active.

2.3. Protecting the environment

> Dispose of faulty rechargeable batteries/spent batteries in

accordance with the valid legal specifications.

> At the end of its useful life, send the product to the separate

collection for electric and electronic devices (observe local

regulations) or return the product to Testo for disposal.
