Safety Precautions
Special attention should be paid when using the test and measurement instrument because improper usage may cause electric shock and damage the equipment.
- Use proper measurement category (CAT), voltage, and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for the measurement.
- Do not use or store the device around explosive gas, vapor, or under high temperature and humidity.
- When handling the test probes and crocodile clips, keep your fingers behind the physical guard.
- Examine the measuring test leads (if present) before use. Any element of which the insulation is deteriorated (even partially), replace them with proper functional test leads.
- Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
- Before measuring current, make sure the instrument fuses are available and disconnect the power supply to the circuit test.
- Remove the batteries if the device is not used for an extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above 45 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can damage the device.
