∗

 When the multimeter is linked to measurement circuits, do not touch unused 

terminals. 

 

∗

  When the range of the value to be measured is unknown, check that the range initially 

set on the multimeter is the highest possible or, wherever possible, choose the 
autoranging mode. 

 

∗

  Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test. 

 

∗

  In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on power switching circuits, 

remember that high amplitude voltage pulses at the test points can damage the 
multimeter.  Use of a TV filter will attenuate any such pulses. 

 

∗

  Never perform resistance or continuty measurements on live circuits. 

 

 

Warning: Risk of danger.  
Refer to the operating manual to find out the nature of the potential hazards 
and the action necessary to avoid such hazards. 

 

Attention : Risk of electrical shock

∗

  Before opening up the instrument, always disconnect from all sources of electric 

current and make sure you are not charged with static electricity, which may destroy 
internal components. 

 

∗

  Fuses must be replaced with fuses of the same rating and type. 

 

∗

  Any adjustment, maintenance or repair work carried out on the multimeter while it is 

live should be carried out only by appropriately qualified personnel, after having 
taken into account the instructions in this present manual.  

 A 

"qualified person" is someone who is familiar with the installation, construction 

and operation of the equipment and the hazards involved. He is trained and 
authorized to energize and de-energize circuits and equipment in accordance with 
established practices.  

 

∗

  When the instrument is opened up, remember that some internal capacitors can 

retain a dangerous potential even after the instrument is switched off. 

 

∗

  If any faults or abnormalities are observed, take the instrument out of service and 

ensure that it cannot be used until it has been checked out. 

 

∗

  It is recommended to remove the battery from the instrument if not used.
