■ Do not use the instrument on networks whose voltage or category exceeds those specified in this manual.
■
Observe all environmental conditions of use (see § 3).
■ Except for voltage measurements, take no measurements on electrically "live" systems.
■ Do not use the instrument if it appears damaged, incomplete, or poorly closed.
■ Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and accessories. Any part on which
the insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping.
