2 Safety information

Note
Before operating the device, you must read, understand, and follow all in­structions, dangers, warnings, cautions, and notes.
Note
FLIR Systems reserves the right to discontinue models, parts or accessories, and other items, or to change specifications at any time without prior notice.
Note
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for an extended period of time.
WARNING
Do not operate the device if you do not have the correct knowledge. Formal qualifications and/or national legislation for the electrical inspections can ap­ply. Incorrect operation of the device can cause damage, shock, injury or death to persons.
WARNING
Do not start the measuring procedure before you have set the function switch to the correct position. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
WARNING
Do not change to current or resistance when you measure the voltage. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
#T559826; r. AD/ 9130/9130; en-US 2
2 Safety information
WARNING
Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to more than 600 V. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
WARNING
You must disconnect the test leads from the circuit that you did a test on be­fore you change the range. If you do not do this, damage to the instrument and injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
WARNING
Do not use the laser pointer near explosive gases or in other possible explo­sive areas. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Do not replace the batteries or the fuses before you remove the test leads. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
WARNING
Do not use the device if the test leads and/or the device show signs of dam­age. Injury to persons can occur.
#T559826; r. AD/ 9130/9130; en-US 3
2 Safety information
WARNING
Be careful when you do the measurements if the voltages are more than 25 VAC rms or 35 VDC. There is a risk of shock from these voltages. Injury to per­sons can occur.
WARNING
Do not do diode, resistance or continuity tests before you have removed the power from capacitors and other devices under test during a measurement. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Do not use the device as a tool to identify live terminals. You must use the cor­rect tools. Injury to persons can occur if you do not use the correct tools.
WARNING
Make sure that children cannot touch the device. The device contains danger­ous objects and small parts that children can swallow. If a child swallows an object or a part, speak with a physician immediately. Injury to persons can occur.
WARNING
Do not let children play with the batteries and/or the packing material. These can be dangerous for children if they use them as toys.
WARNING
Do not touch expired or damaged batteries without gloves. Injury to persons can occur.
#T559826; r. AD/ 9130/9130; en-US 4
2 Safety information
WARNING
Do not cause a short-circuit of the batteries. This can cause damage to the in­strument and can cause injury to persons.
WARNING
Do not put the batteries into a fire. Injury to persons can occur.
CAUTION
Do not use the device for a procedure that it is not made for. This can cause damage to the protection.
