Unsafe Voltage
During a voltage measurement, the Product alerts you to the
presence of a potentially hazardous voltage. When the Product
detects a voltage ≥30 V or a voltage overload (), the
shows on the display to alert you to the presence of a potentially
hazardous voltage.
Test Lead Alert
To remind you to check that the test leads are in the correct
terminals, momentarily shows on the display when you move
the rotary switch to or from the mA or A position.
XW Warning
Attempting to make a measurement with a test lead in an
incorrect terminal might blow a fuse, damage the
Product, and cause serious personal injury.
