mation that the user should read before using the instrument.
The symbol printed on the instrument indicates that the user
should refer to a corresponding topic in the manual (marked with the
symbol) before using the relevant function.
Indicates a grounding terminal.
Indicates a double-insulated device.
Indicates DC (Direct Current).
Indicates AC (Alternating Current).
Indicates that incorrect operation presents an extreme hazard
that could result in serious injury or death to the user.
Indicates that incorrect operation presents a significant haz-
ard that could result in serious injury or death to the user.

4Safety Information
Other Symbols
Measurement categories
This instrument complies with CAT II safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement catego-
ries. These are defined as follows.
Using a measurement instrument in an environment designated
with a higher-numbered category than that for which the instrument
is rated could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully
avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to
CAT IV measurement applications could result in a severe acci-
dent, and must be carefully avoided.
❖Indicates the reference.
* Indicates that descriptive information is provided bellow.
Indicates quick references for operation and remedies for trouble-
shooting.
CAT II Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet
by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations) connected
directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to
outlets.
CAT IV The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power
meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).
