Symbols - Mastech CSIMS8264 Operator's Instruction Manual

* To avoid damages to the instrument, do not exceed the
maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical
specification tables.
* When the multimeter is linked to measurement circuits, do
not touch unused terminals.
* Caution when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac
rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
* When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger
guards.
* When making connections, connect the common test lead
before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting,
disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the
common test lead.
* Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from
the circuit under test.
* For all dc functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to
avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper reading,
verify the presence of any ac voltages by first using the ac
function. Then select a dc voltage range equal to or
greater than the ac range.
* Disconnect circuits power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or
capacitance.
* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on
live circuits.
* Before measuring current, check the meter's fuse and turn
off power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the
circuit.

* In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on
power switching circuits, remember that high amplitude
voltage pulses at the test points can damage the multimeter.
Use of a TV filter will attenuate any such pulses.
* Use the 9V NEDA battery, properly installed in the Meter's
battery case, to power the Meter.
* Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (
appears. With a low battery, the Meter might produce
false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal
injury.
* Do not measure voltages above 600V in Category III, or
1000V in Category II installations.
* Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case)
removed.
