Safety and operational considerations 1 Safety and operational considerations 1.1 Warnings • This document is a supplement to the Instruction manual! • Before using EurotestXE instrument read the Instruction manual carefully, otherwise use of the instrument may be dangerous for the operator, for the instrument or for equipment under test! •...
Safety and operational considerations 1.2 Battery handling • When battery cells have to be replaced or before opening battery/fuse compartment cover, disconnect any measuring accessory connected to the instrument and power off the instrument, hazardous voltage inside! • Insert cells correctly, otherwise the instrument will not operate and the battery could be discharged.
