4. SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to insure maximum personal safety
during the operation of this meter:
1. Do not use the meter if the meter/test leads appear damaged or if you suspect that the
meter is not operating properly.
2. This meter is not recommended for high voltage industrial use; for example, not for
measurements of 440 VAC or 600 VAC industrial power mains. The unit is intended
for use with low energy circuits to 600V AC/DC or high energy circuit to 250VAC or DC.
3. Use caution when working > 60V dc / 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
4. When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
5. Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the meter may cause damage and
expose the operator to a shock hazard. Always respect the voltage limits as stated on
the meter.
6. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired.
7. Refer to the following International Safety Symbols
