•
Ensure that the measuring area has zero potential and the capacitors
are discharged before you carry out diode, resistance or continuity tests.
Disconnect the measuring lines from the measuring area before
switching over the device to diode, resistance or continuity tests if you
have previously carried out measurements on live components

Residual risks
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to insufficient insulation! Check the device and
the measuring cables for damages and proper function before each
use.
If you detect damages, do not use the device any longer.
Do not use the device when either the device or your hands are
damp or wet!
Do not use the device when the battery compartment or the
housing is open.
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to contact with live parts! Do not touch any live
parts. Secure neighbouring live parts by covering them or by
switching them off.
Warning of electrical voltage
Electric shock due to contact with live parts! When using the
measuring tips, make sure not to reach behind the protection
against contact.
Warning of electrical voltage
There is a risk of a short-circuit due to liquids penetrating the
housing!
Do not immerse the device and the accessories in water. Make
sure that no water or other liquids can enter the housing.
Warning of electrical voltage
Work on the electrical components must only be carried out by an
authorised specialist company!
Warning
Risk of suffocation!
Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may use it as a
dangerous toy.
Warning
The device is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of
children.
Warning
Dangers can occur at the device when it is used by untrained
people in an unprofessional or improper way! Observe the
personnel qualifications!
Caution
When handling the device there is a risk of injury due to the
exposed measuring tips.
Always put on the protective cap when not in use.
Caution
Keep a sufficient distance from heat sources.
Note
To avoid damages to the device, make sure that the correct
measuring range is selected before carrying out a measurement.
If you are unsure, select the largest measuring range. Remove the
measuring cables from the measuring point before changing the
measuring range.
Note
To prevent damages to the device, do not expose it to extreme
temperatures, extreme humidity or moisture.
Note
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the device.
