Using The Test Probes - Radio Shack 22-168A Owner's Manual

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE METER
UNTIL YOU REPLACE THE BATTERY AND
CLOSE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT
COVER.
Notes:
¢ When the battery indicator appears, replace
the battery.
* Never leave a weak or dead battery in your
meter. Even a leakproof battery can leak
damaging chemicals. When you are not
going to use your meter for a week or more,
remove the battery.
USING THE TEST PROBES
Use only the type of test probes supplied with
your meter. These test probes are rated for 1200
volts. You can purchase replacement probes
from your local Radio Shack store.
Cautions:
* Although the test probes are rated for 1200
volts, the maximum rating of your meter is
1000 volts DC and 750 volts AC. If you try
to measure DC voltages above 1000 volts
or AC voltages above 750 volts, you might
damage your meter and expose yourself to
a serious shock hazard. Use extreme care
when you measure high voltages.
* Never connect the probe you plug into the
COM terminal to a source of voltage greater
than' 500 volts with respect to earth ground.
This creates a serious shock hazard.
