Safety Precautions
Users must adhere to the safety guidelines outlined in this manual to prevent injury and equipment damage. Key safety points include:
- Never exceed the maximum input values.
- Inspect test leads for damaged insulation before use.
- Avoid touching the tips of the measurement probes.
- Pay attention to all warning labels on the device.
- Perform measurements in dry conditions, preferably with rubber-soled shoes or on an insulating mat.
- Do not connect any voltage sources to the /COM input.
- Do not perform current measurements using the VOLT/COM terminals.
- Always select the highest measurement range for unknown variables before measuring.
- Remove test leads from the measurement circuit before switching to another measurement function.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or excessive humidity.
- Avoid strong vibrations.
- Do not use the device near strong magnetic fields.
- Do not use the device outdoors.
- Replace fuses only with equivalent types and never short-circuit a fuse or its holder.
- Allow the device to acclimate to room temperature before use.
