WARNING
• Do not operate the device if you do not have the correct knowledge. Incor-
rect operation can cause damage, shock, injury, or death to persons.
• Do not start a measuring procedure before you have set the function
switch to the correct position. Failure to do so can cause damage to the in-
strument and can cause injury to persons.
• Before each use, verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage.
• Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to
more than 1000 V. This can cause damage to the instrument and can
cause injury to persons.
