1. Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following European
Community Directives: 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by 2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
Overvoltage category II; pollution degree 2.
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious
injury due to short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be
observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt
from any legal claims whatever.
* Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation
measurement.
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious
injury and/or destruction of the equipment).
* The meter is designed to withstand the stated max voltages. If it is not
possible to exclude without that impulses, transients, disturbance or for
other reasons, these voltages are exceeded a suitable prescale (10:1) must
be used.
* Disconnect test leads or probe from the measuring circuit before switching
modes or functions.
* Check test leads and probes for faulty insulation or bare wires before
connection to the equipment.
* To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp
conditions. Conduct measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes,
i. e. on isolating mats.
* Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
* Always start with the highest measuring range when measuring unknown
values.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures,
humidity or dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors,
transformers etc.).
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up
measurement (important for exact measurements).
* Do not input values over the maximum range of each measurement to avoid
damages of the meter.
