meter will provide many years of reliable service.
Safety
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating
device indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in
the Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to
the meter.
This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which if not avoided, may result damage to the product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked
must not be connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with
respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case) 1000 VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them
as being associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be
subjected to particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum safety,
the meter and its test leads should not be handled when these
terminals are energized.
This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by
double insulation or reinforced insulation.
