1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
� Warnings: Read Before Using
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
• Use the Product only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the
instrument might be impaired.
• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.
• Test on a known signal source within the rated voltage range of the Product. Both,
before and after use, to ensure the Product is in good working conditions.
• Do not use the Product in wet or damp environments.
• Do not operate the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
• Do not use the Product if it appears damaged. Inspect the Product before use. Look for
cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation around the connectors.
• Inspect the test leads before use. Do not use them if insulation is damaged or metal is exposed.
• Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Product.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly. Protection may be impaired. When in
doubt, have the Product serviced.
• Have the Product serviced only by qualified service personnel.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with
the conductor could result in electric shock.
• Do not hold the Product anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage and CAT rating, as marked on the Product,
between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Remove test leads from the Product before opening the Product case or battery cover.
• Never operate the Product with the battery cover removed or the case open.
• Never remove the battery cover or open the case of the Product without first removing
the test leads from any live conductor.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Do not attempt to connect to any circuit carrying voltage that may exceed the
maximum range of the Product.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
• When using alligator clips and test probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards/
tactile barrier.
• When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before
connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before
disconnecting the common test lead.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the battery
as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Check Product operation on a known
source before and after use.
• When servicing, use only specified user serviceable replacement parts.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be used
to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Only use the test lead provided with the Product or UL Listed Probe Assembly rated
CAT III 600V or better.
