electronic measurement equipment. Before and during measurement, carefully follow the
instructions below and read all the notes preceded by the symbol
• Do not take voltage or current measurements in humid environments
• Do not take measurements near explosive gases or materials and fuels, or in dusty
environments
• Avoid contact with the circuit being tested if no measurement is being taken
• Avoid contact with exposed metal parts, unused measurement terminals, circuits, etc.
• Do not take any measurements if you notice any abnormalities in the instrument, such
as deformation, breakage, leakage of substances, no reading on the display, etc.
• Only use original HT accessories
