* Voltage limit is the lesser of the DC+Peak AC and RMS values. 

**   

1.

 

The supplied voltage must be less than 12 V and greater than 4.4 V, otherwise 

the probe could be damaged or might not operate properly. 

2.

 

Polarity  is  “+”  inside  and  “−”  outside.    If  the  polarity  is  wrong,  a  built-in 

circuit protects the probe so that no danger or damage will occur. 

3.

 

When  the  voltage  of  the  cells  becomes  too  low,  the  power  indicator  on  the 

panel will flicker.
