• When connecting to a voltage, always connect the black measu-

ring lead first before the red lead. Follow the reverse procedure

when disconnecting.

• Isolate the device from all current sources before opening the

battery compartment cover. Do not switch on the device with the

cover open.

• If possible, do not work alone. Carry out measurements in the

vicinity of hazardous electrical installations only under the guidance

of a qualified electrician.

• If you have to take hold of the measuring spikes, do so by the

grip sections only. Do not touch the measuring contacts whilst

the measurement is being taken.

• If you are working with voltages higher than 25 V AC/50 V DC,

exercise extreme caution. Touching the electrical conductors at

such voltages poses a risk of life-threatening electric shocks.

• If the device comes into contact with moisture or other conductive-

residue, work must not be carried out under voltage. At and above

voltages of 25 V AC/50 V DC, the presence of moisture creates the

risk of life-threatening electric shocks. Clean and dry the device

before use. When using the device outdoors, make sure that the

weather conditions are appropriate and/or that suitable protection

measures are taken.

• Before taking any measurements, make sure that both the area to

be tested (e.g. a line), the test device and the accessories used

(e.g. connection cable) are in proper working order. Test the device

by connecting it to known voltage sources (e.g. a 230 V socket in

the case of AC testing or a car battery in the case of DC testing).

Stop using the device if one or a number of its functions fails.

• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatu-

res or significant vibration.

• The device must only be used in accordance with its intended

purpose and within the scope of the specifications. Modifications

or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise

invalidate the approval and safety specifications.

Observe the safety precautions of local and national authorities

relating to the correct use of the device and any prescribed safety

equipment (e.g. electrician‘s safety gloves).
