Your AVM360 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you care for the multimeter so you can enjoy it for
years :

l

Keep the multimeter dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

l

Use and store the multimeter only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices or damage
batteries.

l

Handle the multimeter gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the
circuit boards and case and can cause the multimeter to work improperly.

l

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or
weak batteries.
If you do not plan to use the multimeter for a month or more, remove the
batteries. This protects the multimeter from possible leakage.

l

Disconnect the test probes before opening the multimeter.

l

Replace blown fuse only with same size and type :

F 1.5A / 250V

l

If any faults or abnormalities are observed, do not use this device and let it
check by authorised personnel.

l

Never use the meter unless the back cover is in place and fastened fully.

l

To clean the meter, use a damp cloth and mild detergent only, do not use
abrasives or solvents.
