Safety

This apparatus has been 
designed and tested in 
accordance with IEC 
Publication 1010, Safety 
Requirements for Measuring 
Apparatus, and has been 
supplied in a safe condition.  
To ensure safe operation and 
to keep the product safe, the 
information, cautions, and 
warnings in this operating 
manual must be heeded.  In 
addition, note the external 
markings on the instrument 
that are described under 
"Safety Symbols."

Safety Symbols

Instruction manual symbol:  
the product is marked with 
this symbol when it is 
necessary for you to refer to 
the instruction manual in 
order to protect against 
damage to the product.

Hazardous voltage symbol.

Earth terminal symbol: Used 
to indicate a circuit common 
connected to grounded 
chassis.

This symbol signifies that the 
34134A AC/DC DMM 
Current Probe is protected by 
double or reinforced 
insulation. Only use specified 
replacement parts when 
servicing the instrument.

W A R N I N G

The Warning sign denotes a 
hazard.  It calls attention to a 
procedure, practice, or the 
like, which, if not correctly 
performed or adhered to, 
could result in personal 
injury.  Do not proceed 
beyond a Warning sign until 
the indicated conditions are 
fully understood and met.

C A U T I O N

The Caution sign denotes a 
hazard.  It calls attention to an 
operating procedure, practice, 
or the like, which, if not 
correctly performed or 
adhered to, could result in 
damage to or destruction of 
part or all of the product.  Do 
not proceed beyond a Caution 
symbol until the indicated 
conditions are fully 
understood or met.
