Connecting the Probe to the Circuit
WARNING.
To reduce risk of shock or fire, use only the accessories provided with
the probe. Do not exceed either the voltage rating or category ratings (for example,
CAT I, II, III, IV) of the probe or the probe accessory, whichever is the lesser of the
two. Refer to the tables below and on the following pages for the correct accessory
to use with your probe. When using multiple accessories (for example, the extender
leads & hook clips), the lowest accessory/probe ratings apply to all.
To avoid electric shock, keep your fingers behind the finger guard of the probe
accessory and away from the shaded area shown in the accessory illustrations below.
