Usage Notes
Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various
functions. Read the separate document "Operating Precautions" carefully before using the
instrument. Ensure that your use of the product falls within the specifications not only of the
instrument itself, but also of any accessories, options, batteries, and other equipment being
used.
• To prevent an electric shock, do not touch any areas beyond the barrier
while the instrument is in use.
See: "Part Names" (p. 12)
• The maximum measurement current varies with the frequency, and the
current that can be measured continuously is limited. Operating the
instrument at less than this limitation is referred to as derating. Do not
measure currents in excess of the derating curve. Doing so may result in
instrument damage or malfunction, a fire, or burn due to sensor heating.
• Never apply a voltage to the instrument when the resistance, continuity
check, diode check, capacitance, or temperature functions are selected.
Damage to the instrument can cause bodily injury. To avoid electrical
accidents, turn off the circuit before measuring it.
