RS PRO RS-12 - Controls and Jacks; Symbols and Annunciators

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or
operating device indicates that the operator must refer to
an explanation in the Operating Instructions to avoid
personal injury or damage to the meter.
This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which if not avoided, may result damage to the
product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked
must not be connected to a circuit point at which the voltage
with respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case) 500 VAC
or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies
them as being associated with ranges that may, in normal
use, be subjected to particularly hazardous voltages. For
maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should not be
handled when these terminals are energized.
This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout
by double insulation or reinforced insulation.
