of the equipment).
* To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors
before taking any resistance measurements.
* 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
