input terminal. When measuring electricity, do not connect the body with the ground directly, and do not touch the possible exposed metallic terminal, output socket or lead clamp with ground potential. Usually use the dry cloth, rubber overshoes, rubber cushion and other insulated materials to keep the body isolated with the ground.
