est. 1953 17 DEUTSCH DEUTSCH ENGLISH Disposal Dear Testboy customer: purchasing our product gives you the option of returning the instru- ment to suitable collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan.

The WEEE directive regulates the return and recycling of electrical appliances. Manufacturers of electrical appliances are obliged to take back and recycle all electrical appliances free of charge. Electrical devices may then no longer be dis- posed of through conventional waste disposal channels. Electrical appliances must be recycled and disposed of separately. All equipment subject to this di- rective is marked with this logo.

Disposal of used batteries

As an end user, you are legally obliged (battery law) to return all used batteries; disposal in the normal domestic waste is prohibited. Batteries containing contaminant material are labelled with this symbol indicating that they may not be disposed of in normal domestic waste. The abbreviations used for the crucial heavy metals are: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead. You can return your used batteries free of charge to municipal collection points or an- ywhere where batteries are sold.

Certificate of quality All quality-relevant activities and processes carried out within Testboy GmbH are subject to on- going monitoring within the framework of a Quality Management System. Furthermore, Test- boy GmbH confirms that the testing equipment and instruments used during the calibration process are subject to an ongoing inspection process. Declaration of conformity The product conforms to the most recent directives. For more information, go to www.test- boy.deOperation 18 Testboy

est. 1953 is a universal multimeter. This measuring instrument has been manu- factured to the latest safety specifications, and guarantees safe and reliable operation. The multimeter is a valuable aid for all standard measurement tasks in trade and industry as well as for electronics hobbyists. Safety precautions The est. 1953 left the factory with its safety features in perfect operating condition. In order to maintain this condition, the user must comply with the specifications of the safety notes con- tained in this manual.

Caution! Only use the enclosed safety test leads or equivalent test leads that meet the same measurement category.

| In order to avoid an electric shock, comply with the precautions when working with voltages greater than 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V) eff. AC. These values represent the limits of safe-to-touch voltages in accordance with DIN VDE. (Values given in brackets apply e.g. to medical or agricultural areas) | Before taking each measurement, ensure that the test leads and the test instrument are in perfect working order | The test leads and probes must only be handled using the grips provided. Avoid touching the probes under any circumstances.

The test instrument must only be used for the measurement ranges specified.

Attention ! Before using the instrument, check for its correct function (e.g. using a known power source, see: DIN VDE 0105, part 1).Operation Testboy

Backlighting Continuous pressing of the "HOLD" button switches on the backlighting. The illumination switches off automatically after c. 1 minute. Saving function (HOLD) At difficult measurement positions, the display cannot perhaps be read correctly. Pressing the "HOLD" button freezes the current measured value which can then be read in comfort. Repeated pressing of the "HOLD" button returns to normal measuring mode. True RMS If measuring non-sinus wave forms, low measurement errors can occur if using the True RMS function, in comparison to using traditional measurement procedures. Sinus-form and non-sinus form signals can be accurately measured using the True RMS function.Operation Testboy
