7. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are
greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a
shock hazard.
8. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device
under test before performing Capacitance, Diode, Resistance or
Continuity tests.
9. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long
periods.
10. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit
whose voltage exceeds 1000V AC.
11. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading
because of the uncertainty of connection to the electrical contacts.
Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not
"live".
12. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
13. The product is intended only for indoor use.
PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed
installations.
Note – Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some
equipment for industrial use with permanent connection to the fixed
installation.
OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin of
the installation.
Note – Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current
protection equipment
