9. Measuring Operation

Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Do not touch any circuits or parts of circuits if
they may be subject to voltages higher than 33 V ACrms or 70 V DC! Danger to life!
Before measuring, check the connected measuring lines for damage such as, for example, cuts,
cracks or squeezing. Defective measuring lines must no longer be used! Danger to life!
During measuring, do not grip beyond the tangible grip area markings on the test prods and the
meter.
Only the two measuring lines that are required for measuring operation must be connected to the
meter at any time. Remove all measuring lines not required from the meter for safety reasons when
performing the current measurement.
Measurements in electrical circuits >33 V/AC and >70 V/DC must only be carried out by specialists
and technically instructed personnel who are familiar with the relevant regulations and the ensuing
risks.
If "OL" (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the measurement range.
