by this symbol
.
When taking measurements:
Avoid doing that in humid or wet places
Avoid doing that in rooms where explosive gas, combustible gas, steam or excessive
dust is present
Keep you insulated from the object under test
Do not touch exposed metal parts such as test lead ends, sockets, fixing objects,
circuits etc
Avoid doing that if you notice anomalous conditions such as breakages, deformations,
fractures, leakages of battery liquid, blind display etc
Be particularly careful when measuring voltages exceeding 20V to avoid risks of
electrical shocks
The following symbols are used:
CAUTION - refer to the instruction manual - an improper use may damage the
instrument or its components

1.1. PRELIMINARY
This instrument has been designed for use in environments of pollution degree 2
It can be used for
VOLTAGE
measurements on installations of CAT III 600V
This instrument can perform only AC sinusoidal voltage measurements
You must comply with the usual safety regulations aimed at protecting you against the
dangerous electric current and protecting the instrument against an incorrect operation
Only the original test leads supplied along with the instrument guarantee compliance
with the safety standards in force. They must be in a good conditions and, if necessary,
replaced with identical ones
Do not test nor connect to any circuit exceeding the specified overload protection
Do not take measurements under environmental conditions exceeding the limits
indicated in § 6.1.1 and § 6.2.1
Make sure that battery is correctly installed
Before connecting the test probes to the installation make sure that the rotary selector
is positioned on the right function
