9.1 Securing the unit
Under certain circumstances, the safety of the BENNING MM 4 can no longer
be guaranteed. This may be the case if:
-
there are visible signs of damage on the unit,
-
errors occur in measurements,
-
the unit has been stored for a long period of time under the wrong condi-
tions, and
-
if the unit has been subjected to rough handling during transport.
In these cases, the BENNING MM 4 must be switched off immediately, removed
from the measuring points and secured to prevent it from being used again.
9.2 Cleaning
Clean the outside of the unit with a clean dry cloth. (Exception: any type of
special cleaning cloth). Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the BENNING
MM4. Always ensure that the battery compartment and the battery contacts
have not been) contaminated by electrolyte leakage.
If any electrolyte or white deposits are seen near to the battery or in the battery
compartment, remove them with a dry cloth, too.
9.3 Battery replacement
