Facom 714A Manuel D'utilisation page 18

To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery
●
indicator ( ) appears.
When in Relative Mode or in MIN mode, the symbol «REL»or»MIN» is displayed. Caution must be used because hazardous voltage
●
may be present.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch any naked conductor with your hand or skin, and do not ground yourself while using the meter.
●
Comply with local and national safety requirements when you work in hazardous locations. Use correct protective equipment, as
●
required by local or national authorities when you work in hazardous areas.
Do not work alone.
●
Do not measure a battery's internal resistance if the battery's voltage exceeds 36V.
●
When an input terminal is connected to dangerous live potential it is to be noted that this potential can occur at all other terminals!
●
Use only the test leads specified by the factory.
●
During replacement of fuse, please only use the spare fuse from us.
●
CAT III -Measurement Category III is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are measurements on
●
distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket outlets in the fixed
installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection
to the fixed installation.
Do not use the meter for measurements within Measurement Categories IV.
●
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, followthese guidelines:
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before testing resistance, diode, continuity and temperature.
●
Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurements.
●
Before measuring current, check the meter's fuse and turn off the power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
●
Before rotating the range switch to change functions, disconnect test leads from the circuit under test.

INSTRUCTION
Function/Range Switch
Turn on the meter by selecting a measurement function. The meter provides
a standard display
for the function (range, measurement units, etc.).
Use the relevant buttons to select other functions, such as Data Hold, range selection,
Relative mode and so on.
For more detailed information about the functionrrange switch, see Figure 1 and Table 1.
