1.5. WARNINGS
• Make sure to read and fully understand the instruction contained within
this manual prior to use.
• This instrument is not intrinsically safe therefore do not use the
instrument in hazardous environments.
• In order to prevent fire and/or electrical shock, do not use the instrument
in wet, damp or highly humid environments.
• Prior to use, check if the instrument functions correctly, if any
symptoms/symbols of malfunction or abnormalities are indicated, do not
use and inform your supplier.
• Users who could be exposed to voltages in excess of the extra low band
(50V AC or 120V DC) should be competent and be aware of the
requirements of the relevant IEC Standards regarding the use of the
instrument and the associated leads and probes etc.
• Make sure your fingers holding the test probes are positioned behind the
safety lines of the test probes.
• Do not open the instrument.
• If the internal fuse (protective device) blows, replace with a device of the
same type and rating, if it blows again seek professional advice, do not
replace fuse and try again.
• When carrying out the "dead tests" ensure prior to connection of the
instrument leads the circuit under test has been confirmed "dead" and
secured in the OFF position using appropriate methods.
• Battery condition is indicated by a beep, check and replace if necessary.
• Do not test an electrical circuit or systems where the voltage is in excess
of 550V.
• Ensure at all times the leads are in compliance with the IEC and CAT
Ratings (as supplied) and not damaged.
