Safety Symbols 
Main Power and Test Input Dis-
connect: Unplug instrument from 
wall outlet, remove power cord, 
and remove all probes from all 
terminals before servicing. Only 
qualified, service-trained person-
nel should remove the cover from 
the instrument. 
Line and Current Protection 
Fuses: For continued protection 
against fire, replace the line fuse 
and the current-protection fuse 
only with fuses of the specified 
type and rating.
Front/Rear Switch: Do not 
change the position of the 
Front/Rear switch on the front 
panel while signals are present on 
either the front or rear set of ter-
minals. The switch is not intended 
as an active multiplexer. Switch-
ing while high voltages or cur-
rents are present may cause 
instrument damage and lead to 
the risk of electric shock.
IEC Measurement Category II. The 
HI and LO input terminals may be 
connected to mains in IEC Cate-
gory II installations for line volt-
ages up to 300 VAC. To avoid the 
danger of electric shock, do not 
connect the inputs to mains for 
line voltages above 300 VAC. See 
"IEC Measurement Category II 
Overvoltage Protection" on the 
following page for further infor-
mation.

ment damage and the risk of elec-
tric shock, do not exceed any of
