Notation Accuracy We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale), rdg. (reading) and dgt. (digit) values with the following meanings: f.s. (maximum display value/range) The maximum displayable value. This is usually the name of the currently selected range. rdg.
Usage Notes Usage Notes Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions. Read the separate document “Operating Precautions” carefully before using the instrument. Ensure that your use of the product falls within the specifications not only of the instrument itself, but also of any accessories, options, batteries, and other equipment being used.
Page 11
Usage Notes WARNING • Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock. (This precaution does not apply to insulated conductors.) • To prevent an electric shock, do not exceed the lower of the ratings shown on the instrument and test leads.
