The measurement category(CAT)rating and voltage rating is determined by a combination
of the meter, test probes and any accessories connected to the meter and test probes. 
The combination rating is the LOWEST of any individual component.

WARNING:

 Operation is limited to CAT II applications when the insulated tips are removed

from one or both test probes. Refer to Input Limits section in this manual for maximum 
voltage ratings.
