Warnings related to measurement functions:
Working with the instrument
Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
Always connect accessories to the test equipment and to the test object before starting
measurement. Do not touch test leads or crocodile clips during measurement.
Do not touch any conductive parts of equipment under test during the test, risk of electric
shock!
Make sure that the tested object is disconnected (mains voltage disconnected) and
de-energized, before connecting the test leads and starting the measurement!
Do not connect test terminals (H, S, ES, E) to an external voltage higher than 300 V DC
or AC (CAT IV environment) to prevent any damage to the test equipment!
Do not use a current measurement as an indication that a circuit is safe to touch. A
voltage measurement is necessary to know if a circuit is hazardous.
Warnings related to Batteries:
Use only batteries provided by the manufacturer.
Never dispose of the batteries in a fire as it may cause them to explode or generate
a toxic gas.
Do not attempt to disassemble, crush or puncture the batteries in any way.
Do not short circuit or reverse polarity the external contacts on a battery.
Keep the battery away from children.
Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock/impacts or vibration.
Do not use a damaged battery.
The Li
– ion battery contains safety and protection circuit, which if damaged, may
cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
If a battery has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids.
In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes
thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no
