NOTICE
● A protective sheet is attached to the LCD. Peel it off before use.
● Although the LCD monitor is manufactured to very high standards, it is possible to
observe a few dead pixels on the screen. This is normal and not a malfunction of the
meter.

greatly slow down and the display may be difficult to view and read. This will not harm
the meter. Also, if the temperature exceeds 50°C, the liquid crystal display will darken
and become difficult to read, but when it returns to room temperature it will return to its
normal condition.
