2.42 Avoid usage near strong magnetic fields (magnets, loudspeakers,
transformers, motors, coils, relays, contactors, electromagnets, etc.).
The meter may display readings that are in error, causing the user to
misinterpret the hazards present. For example, the meter may indicate a
low voltage when high voltages are actually present. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
2.43 Avoid usage near strong electrostatic fields (high voltage power lines,
televisions, computer monitors, etc.). The meter may display readings that
are in error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present. For
example, the meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are
actually present. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage
to the meter or injury to the user.
2.44 Avoid usage near strong RF fields (radio or television transmitters, walkie
talkies, cellular phones, etc.). The meter may display readings that are in
error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present. For example,
the meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are actually
present. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the meter or injury to the user.
2.45 Remove the battery when the meter may be left unused for longer than 1
month. Chemical leakage from the battery could damage the meter,
leading to user injury.
2.46 Do not use the meter if there is evidence of chemical leakage from the
battery. Leakage could damage meter and lead to injury of user.
2.47 Observe whether HOLD function is activated. The meter may not show the
presence of dangerous potentials when HOLD is activated. For example,
if HOLD is applied when the meter is reading zero, and 120VAC is
subsequently applied, the meter will continue to read zero. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to
the user.
2.48 Do not attempt to measure the hFE of a transistor with the meter’s test leads
connected. Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury to
the user.
