2. Maklumat Keselamatan

AMARAN!

• DO NOT use this device in a wet environment.
• DO NOT connect the power meter to a multi-plug outlet to measure multiple electrical appliances simultaneously, as this may cause the total power to exceed the threshold of 1800W and result in a short circuit.

NOTIS:

• Consumption and time will NOT be measured or counted when your device is in standby or not working, or if the rated power of your device is smaller than 0.5 watts. However, energy consumption is always measured once the device is plugged in.
• The device saves electricity quantity, cost, electricity price, and cumulative time. It does NOT save current, voltage, power, or power factors.
• If there is an abnormal display or no response, reset the electric meter by pressing the RESET button.
• The power of electrical appliances connected to this device must not exceed 1800W.
