Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 470 (part number
EX470) True RMS Autoranging Multimeter plus IR Thermometer.
This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance,
Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle, Diode Test, and Continuity
plus Thermocouple and Non-Contact IR Temperature. Proper use
and care of this meter will provide many years of reliable service.
Safety
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.

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)
600 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.
This symbol indicates there is a potential
hazard from a laser light source.
