Manual Conventions 

In the manual, the following conventions are used: 

 

Indicates a matter of note.  

If it refers to a sequence of operations, failure to follow the instructions could result in errors in 
measurement. 

 

 

Indicates hazards.  

There is a risk of equipment damage or personal injury or death. Carefully read and follow the 
instructions. Be sure to follow any safety instructions given in addition to those for the site at which 
tests are being performed.
