For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables,
or any other instruments while power is applied to the cir-

test system and discharge any capacitors before: connect-

as installing or removing jumpers.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path
to the common side of the circuit under test or power line
(earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry
hands while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable
of withstanding the voltage being measured.
The instrument and accessories must be used in accor-

When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type
and rating for continued protection against fire hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connec-

connections.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while
power is applied to the device under test. Safe operation
requires the use of a lid interlock.
If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground
using the wire recommended in the user documentation.
