9. Measuring with the Multimeter (DMM)
Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Do not contact circuits or parts of circuits if
there could be voltages higher than 25 V ACrms or 35 V DC present within them. Mortal danger!
Before measuring, check the connected measuring lines for damage such as, for example, cuts,
cracks or squeezing. Defective measuring cables must no longer be used. Mortal danger!
During measuring, do not grip beyond the tangible grip range markings present on the test prods.
Measuring is only permitted with closed housing and battery compartment.
As soon as “OL” (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the measuring range.
