Test leads / Test leads with crocodile clip (optional accessory)
• Use the probes supplied by KYORITSU with this instrument.
• Do not use test leads/test leads with crocodile clip that have deteriorated or are defective.
Check test leads/test leads with crocodile clip continuity.
• Disconnect test leads/test leads with crocodile clip from the circuit under test before opening
the casing to replace the batteries or for any other reason.
• Disconnect test leads/test leads with crocodile clip from the c ircu it under test before
attaching/detaching the test leads/test leads with crocodile clip to/from the instrument.
• Disconnect test leads/test leads with crocodile clip from the instrument before opening the
casing to replace the batteries or for any other reason.
• A cap is provided on the tip of a test lead.
Use a test lead with the cap on for safety (safety standards: IEC 61010-031).
• Do not use the crocodile clip of test leads being loosen or removed conditions.
Casing
• Do not use the instrument if there is any damage t o the casing or when the casing is
removed.
