1.2 Precautions
This product has been designed with your safety in mind, but please
pay attention to the following warnings and cautions before use.
Warnings
In order to avoid the danger of electrical shock, it is important that
proper safety measures are taken when working with voltages
exceeding 30V AC rms, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
The Martindale DT85 must only be used by a skilled and competent
person who is familiar with the relevant regulations, the safety risks
involved and the consequent normal safe working practices, and
under the conditions and for the purposes for which it has been
constructed and specified.
Before use check the unit for cracks or any other damage. Make
sure the unit is free from dust, grease and moisture. Also check
any associated probes and accessories for damage. Do not use if
damaged.
To avoid electric shock, and damage to the instrument, do not use
this instrument and the associated temperature probe when voltages
at the measurement surface exceed 24V DC or AC rms.
Cautions
To avoid burns or damage to equipment, do not take temperature
measurements inside microwave ovens.
Avoid severe mechanical shock or vibration and extreme temperature.
To avoid possible corrosion from leaking batteries, remove the
batteries if discharged, or when the unit is not in use for an extended
period.
5. WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
This Martindale product is warranted to be free from defects in
material and workmanship under normal use and service. The
warranty period is 2 years and begins on the date of receipt by the
end user. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-
user customer, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries,
test leads or to any product which, in Martindale’s opinion, has been
misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident
or abnormal conditions of operation, handling or storage.
Martindale authorised resellers shall extend this warranty on new and
unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to
extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Martindale.
Martindale’s warranty obligation is limited, at Martindale’s option, to
refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of
a defective product which is returned to Martindale within the warranty
period.
This warranty is the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy and is in lieu
of all other warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose. Martindale shall not be liable for any special, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages or losses, including loss of data,
arising from any cause or theory.
Since some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of the term of
an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty
may not apply to every buyer. If any part of any provision of this
warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-
maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision or other part of that provision.
Nothing in this statement reduces your statutory rights.
