Warning
To avoid electric shock, connect the Meter’s power cord to a
power receptacle with proper earth ground. A protective ground
connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power
cord is essential for safe operation.
With the proper line voltage selected and the appropriate power cord connected to the
Meter, connect the power cord to a power outlet and switch rear-panel power switch so
the “I” side of the switch is depressed.
Adjusting the Bail
For bench-top use, the Meter’s bail or handle is adjustable to provide two viewing angles.
To adjust its position, pull the ends out to a hard stop (about 1/4-inch on each side) and
rotate it to one of the four stop positions shown in Figure 2-4. To completely remove the
handle, adjust it to the vertical stop position and pull the ends all the way out.
