1587/1577 Users Manual Safety Information Use the Meter only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by the Meter may be impaired. See Table 1 for a list of symbols used on the Meter and in this manual. A XWWarning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death. A XWCaution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter, the equipment under test, or cause permanent loss of data. XWWarning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines: • Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired. • Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced. • Always use the proper terminal, switch position, and range for measurements before connecting Meter to circuit under test. • Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. • Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground. • Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard. • Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (b) appears. • Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance. • Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor. • When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards. 2

Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•
Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be
impaired.
•
Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in
doubt, have the Meter serviced.
•
Always use the proper terminal, switch position, and range for measurements before connecting Meter
to circuit under test.
•
Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between
any terminal and earth ground.
•
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock
hazard.
•
Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (
b
) appears.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
•
Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
•
When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
