When using test leads, always keep your fingers behind the finger
guards on the test lead probes.
When this unit is used in combination with test leads, the
measurement category of the combination is the lower
measurement category of either this unit or the test leads used.
Likewise if test lead accessories such as crocodile clips are also
used, the measurement category will be the lowest measurement
category in that combination.
If the insulated end caps are not fitted to the TL17 test leads, the
measurement category becomes CAT II 1000V, and the test leads
must not be used on CAT III or CAT IV installations to avoid the risk
of shorting high energy circuits and arc flash.
Test leads and any test lead accessories must be properly seated
and firmly connected before use.
To avoid electrical shock, and damage to the instrument, do not
use this instrument with its associated temperature probe when the
voltage at the measurement surface exceeds 30V DC/AC rms.
Cautions
Avoid severe mechanical shock or vibration and extreme
temperature.
To avoid burns or damage to equipment, do not take temperature
measurements inside microwave ovens.
Remove the batteries when not in use for an extended period, to
avoid corrosion from leaking batteries.
