instrument must be completely disconnected
from the mains supply. If any measurement or
calibration procedures are necessary on the
opened-up instrument, these must only be carried
out by qualifi ed personnel acquainted with the
danger involved.

Warranty and Repair
HAMEG instruments are subjected to a strict qua-
lity control. Prior to leaving the factory, each ins-
trument is burnt-in for 10 hours. By intermittent
operation during this period almost all defects are
detected. Following the burn-in, each instrument
is tested for function and quality, the specifi cations
are checked in all operating modes; the test gear
is calibrated to national standards.
The warranty standards applicable are those of
the country in which the instrument was sold.
Reclamations should be directed to the dealer.
Only valid in EU countries
In order to speed reclamations customers in EU
countries may also contact HAMEG directly. Also,
