2. זיכערקייַט אינפֿאָרמאַציע

Always observe safety precautions when using electrical testing equipment to prevent personal injury or damage to the device.

• אַלגעמיינע זיכערקייַט: Ensure the device is in good working condition before use. Do not operate if damaged.
• Voltage מעזשערמאַנט: For DC-DC or high voltage measurements above 36V, it is recommended to use the AUTO+ mode. This mode skips the millivolt (mV) range to prevent mismeasurement, sparking, and potential damage. The default AUTO mode includes the mV range, which may not be suitable for higher voltages.
• MCX Connector Usage: The MCX pin sizes for the alligator clip and oscilloscope probe differ. The alligator clip's inner pin is larger. Do not attach the alligator clip to the CHA/CHB (oscilloscope analog channels). The alligator clip is intended only for the OUT channel (waveform output) to avoid poor contact or damage to the oscilloscope's analog channels.
• איצטיקע מעזשערמאַנט: Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the device for current measurements.
• פוסעס: The unit is fused. If a fuse blows, replace it with one of the specified type and rating.
• טעסט ליידז: Use only the provided or equivalent high-quality test leads. The included leads are fine-tipped, suitable for small electronics. For higher-current or heavier work, consider investing in more robust leads.
