Avoid measuring in presence of explosive gas, combustible gas, steam or excessive
dust.
Do not touch exposed metal (conductive) parts such as test lead ends, sockets, fixing
objects, circuits etc.
Avoid measuring if you note anomalous conditions such as breakages, deformations,
fractures, strange substances, blind display etc.
Avoid measuring voltages higher than 20V as you may risk electrical shocks.
The following symbols are used:
