Input warning
To avoid circuit damage and possibly blowing the multimeter's current fuse,
CAUTION
do not place the probes across (in parallel with) a powered circuit when a
lead is plugged into a current terminal. This causes a short circuit because
the resistance through the multimeter's current terminals is very low.
The multimeter emits a continuous beep and displays Error ON A INPUT or Error
ON mA INPUT when the test lead is inserted into the µA mA or A input terminal
but the rotary switch is not set to the correct current position.

This warning is intended to stop you from attempting to measure voltage,
continuity, resistance, capacitance, diode, or temperature values when the leads
are plugged into a current terminal.
