
Before using the device, make sure that test leads and the device are in
good condition and the device is working properly (e.g. by connecting to
known voltage sources).

The device may not be used if the housing or the test leads are damaged,
if one or more functions are not working, if functions are not displayed, or
if you suspect that something is wrong.

If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the device may not be
operated and secured against use.

While using this device, hold the test leads only behind the finger guards -
do not touch the probes.

Never ground yourself while making electrical measurements. Do not
touch any exposed metal pipes, fittings etc., which could have a ground
potential. Ensure that your body is isolated by using dry clothes, rubber
shoes, rubber mats or other approved insulation materials.

Operate the device in a way that it is not difficult to operate the network
separators.

Never connect the device to voltage or current sources that exceed the
specified maximum values.

Avoid voltage measuring in electrical circuits while motors are switched
on or off. The stress-spikes can damage the instrument.

Never touch conductive parts or bare wires.

Be careful when working on voltages above 60V DC, 30V AC RMS or 42V
AC peak value. These tensions can be life-threatening!

If the function needs to be changed during measurement, remove the test
tips from the circle to be measured.

Replace the battery(s) when the battery symbol or BATT is displayed on
the LCD.

Always switch off the appliance before opening the device to exchange
the battery or the fuse.

Never use the device with the rear cover removed or with the battery and
fuse compartment open!

Do not use the device near strong magnetic fields (for e.g. welding
transformer), as this can distort the display.

Do not use the device outdoors, in humid surroundings or in
environments that are subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations.
