AXIOMET AX-160IP [3/30] Symbols

disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

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

* For all DC functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper

reading, verify the presence of any AC voltages by first using the AC function. Then select a DC voltage

range equal to or greater than the AC range.

* Disconnect circuits power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity,

diodes, or capacitance.

* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on live circuits.

* Before measuring current, please check the meter’s fuse and turn off power to the circuit before connecting

produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.

* Do not measure voltages above 1000V in Category III, or 600V in Category IV installations.

* When in REL mode, the “REL” symbol is displayed. Caution must be used because hazardous voltage

may be present.

* Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed
