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. Keysight

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.

–Thisdeviceisforindooruseat altitudes of up to 2000 m.

– Always use the specified battery type (listed in “Characteristics and

Specifications” on page 89). 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.
