SAFETY
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any
products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use the product only as specified.
For operating instructions, see the 61-340 / 61-342 Digital Multimeter Instruction Manual.
CAUTION: These statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the
equipment or other property.
WARNING: These statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or
loss of life.
Use proper Fuse. To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse type and rating specified for this product.
Do not operate without covers. To avoid personal injury, do not apply any voltage or current to the
product without covers in place.
Do Not Exceed the maximum rated input limits, as marked on the meter.
Electric overload. Never apply a voltage to a connector on the product that is outside the range
specified for that connector.
Avoid electric shock. To avoid injury or loss of life, do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads
while they are connected to a voltage source.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or
damp conditions.
Use great care when you are required to make measurements on live circuits that exceed 50V.
