Use appropriate safety equipment required by your organization, including high-voltage
gloves and eye protection.

The devices covered in this manual are not waterproof or sealed against water entry.
 The devices covered in this manual are intended for indoor use. If using outdoors, you
must protect the device(s) from rain, snow, and other contaminants.
 Repair parts warning: You must replace defective, damaged or broken test leads with
factory-authorized parts to ensure safe operation and maintain performance
specifications.

Ground the product:
The devices covered in this manual are grounded through the
power cord’s grounding conductor. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into
a properly wired/grounded receptacle before connecting the product test leads.

DANGER FROM LOSS OF GROUND. Upon loss of the protective
ground connection, all accessible conductive parts, including knobs and controls
that may appear to be insulated, can cause an electric shock!

pack.
