Probes and Test Leads
1. Always inspect probes before use. Do not use test leads whose insulation has cuts,
cracks, or other damage that may result in reduced electric shock protection.
2. Keep insulation surface clean between the probe tip connector and the finger guards.
3. If probes other than the ones specified are to be used with the multimeter, be sure the
probes and their leads are rated for the voltage and current to which they will be subjected.
Do not exceed the voltage ratings for the multimeter.
4. Probes supplied with this multimeter are rated for use up to 1000Vrms or Vdc.
