Unsafe Voltage
During a voltage measurement, the Product alerts you to the
presence of a potentially hazardous voltage. When the Product
detects a voltage ≥30 V or a voltage overload (), the
Y symbol
shows on the display to alert you to the presence of a potentially
hazardous voltage.
Test Lead Alert
To remind you to check that the test leads are in the correct
terminals,  momentarily shows on the display when you move
the rotary switch to or from the mA or A position.
XW Warning
Attempting to make a measurement with a test lead in an
incorrect terminal might blow a fuse, damage the
Product, and cause serious personal injury.
