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

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 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.
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 the capacitors and from a device during a test. Injury to persons
can occur.

5.14.1 General
Some IR cameras from Flir Systems support Bluetooth communication, and to
those cameras you can stream measurement data from the meter. The data is
then merged into the result table in the IR image.

Streaming measurement data is a convenient way to add important information
to an IR image. For example, when identifying an overheated cable connection,
you may want to know the current in that cable.
5.14.2 Procedure
1. Pair the IR camera with the instrument. Refer to the camera manual for infor-
mation on how to pair Bluetooth devices.
2. Turn on the camera.
3. Turn on the meter.
