changespecificationsatanytimewithoutpriornotice.

Removethebatteriesifthedeviceisnotusedforanextendedperiodoftime.

WarningStatements



Donotoperatethedeviceifyoudonothavethecorrectknowledge.Formalqualificationsand/or

nationallegislationfortheelectricalinspectionscanapply.Incorrectoperationofthedevicecan

causedamage,shock,injuryordeathtopersons.

Donotstartthemeasuringprocedurebeforeyouhavesetthefunctionswitchtothecorrect

position.Thiscancausedamagetotheinstrumentandcancauseinjurytopersons.

Donotchangetocurrentorresistancewhenyoumeasurethevoltage.Thiscancausedamageto

theinstrumentandcancauseinjurytopersons.

Donotmeasurethecurrentonacircuitwhenthevoltageincreasestomorethan1000V.Thiscan

causedamagetotheinstrumentandcancauseinjurytopersons.

Youmustdisconnectthetestleadsfromthecircuitthatyoudidatestonbeforeyouchangethe

range.Ifyoudonotdothis,damagetotheinstrumentandinjurytopersonscanoccur.

Donotreplacethebatteriesbeforeyouremovethetestleads.Thiscancausedamagetothe

instrumentandcancauseinjurytopersons.

Donotusethedeviceifthetestleadsand/orthedeviceshowsignsofdamage.Injurytopersons

canoccur.

Becarefulwhenyoudothemeasurementsifthevoltagesaremorethan25VACrmsor35VDC.

Thereisariskofshockfromthesevoltages.Injurytopersonscanoccur.

Donotdodiode,resistanceorcontinuitytestsbeforeyouhaveremovedthepowerfrom

capacitorsandotherdevicesundertestduringameasurement.Injurytopersonscanoccur.

Donotusethedeviceastheonlytooltoidentifyliveterminals.Injurytopersonscanoccuriflive

terminalsarenotidentifiedproperly.

Whendoingvoltagechecksonliveoutlets,ensurethatthetipsofthetestleadsaretouchingthe

metalcontactsthataretypicallyrecesseddeepintheoutlet;failuretodosocanleadtoinjuryto

persons.

Donottouchexpiredordamagedbatterieswithoutgloves.Injurytopersonscanoccur.

Donotshort‐circuitthebatteries.Thiscancausedamagetotheinstrumentandcancauseinjury

topersons.

Donotputthebatteriesintoafire.Injurytopersonscanoccur.
