Safety Notes

Safety Notes

The device has been designed in accordance with the IEC
61010 safety standard, and its safety has been verified by
means of testing prior to shipment. However, failure to follow
the information in this manual could render safety-related
functionality provided by the device ineffective.

Please review the safety information below before using the

device.



Read this manual carefully and ensure you
understand its contents before using the
device.

Improper use of the device could result in serious bodily
injury or damage to the device.



If using an electrical measuring instrument
for the first time, seek instruction from an
individual with electrical measurement
experience first.

Failure to do so may lead to electric shock, overheating,

fire, arcing due to a short-circuit, or other hazards.
