EXTECH EX380396 [4/17] Cautions

380395/380396 -EU-EN-V1.2-4/12

Cautions

 Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand

this user manual before operating the meter.

 Always remove the test leads before replacing the batteries.

 Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the

meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.

 Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty

of a definitive connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to

ensure that the outlet terminals are not "live".

 If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided

by the equipment may be impaired.

 Do not use the Insulation resistance tester near explosive gas, vapor or dust.

 When using the test leads, keep fingers away from the lead contacts. Keep fingers behind the

test lead finger guards.

 Do not use the tester if its cover or any of its parts are removed.

 When performing resistance tests, remove all power from the circuit under test.

 When servicing the Insulation Resistance tester, use only the supplied test leads and power

adaptor.

 Do not use the Insulation resistance tester if the battery indicator shows a low battery.

 Do not use or store the meter in areas of high humidity, high temperature, potentially explosive

or flammable environments, or in strong magnetic fields.

 Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Insulation resistance

tester when servicing. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

 Dry the Insulation resistance tester before storing if it is wet.

 Remove the test leads and set the Range selector switch to the OFF position after use.
