intheinstrument.
Toreducetheriskoffireorelectricshock,donotexposethisproducttorainor
moisture.Themeterisintendedonlyforindooruse.
Observepropersafetyprecautionswhenworking withvoltagesabove33Vrms,46.7

Beforeandafterhazardousvoltagemeasurements,checkthevoltagefunctionona
knownsourcesuchaslinevoltagetodeterminepropermeter functioning.
