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

CENELEC Directives: These instruments conform to CENELEC low-

voltage directive 73/23/EEC and Electromagnetic compatibility directive

89/336/EEC.
