Safety Considerations

Read the information below before using this instrument.

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all

phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to

comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this

manual violates safety standards for design, manufacture, and intended

use of the instrument. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the

customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

CAUTION

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors

before testing.

•When measuring in-circuit components, first de-energize the

circuits before connecting them to the test leads.

•This device is for indoor use at altitudes of up to 2000 m.

•Always use the specified battery type (listed in “Product

Characteristics" on page 76). The power for the meter is supplied

with a single standard 9 V battery. Observe the correct polarity

markings before you insert the battery to ensure proper insertion of

the battery in the meter.

•Line operation is also possible using a 12 V AC to DC adapter. If a

power adapter is selected, please be sure it meets the safety

requirements of a relevant IEC standard.

WARNING

• Use this meter only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the

protection provided by the meter may be impaired.

• Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter,

inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay

particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.

• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal.

Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads

before you use the meter.

• Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or wet

environments.

• Never use the meter in wet conditions or when there is water on

the surface. If the meter is wet, ensure that the meter is dried only

by trained personnel.

• When servicing the meter, use only the specified replacement

parts.

• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger

guards on the probes.

• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test

lead. When you disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead

first.

• Remove the test leads from the meter before you open the battery

cover.

• Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the

cover removed or loosened.

• To avoid false readings, which may lead to possible electric shock

or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery

indicator appears and flashes.
