1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
• Use the proper terminals, functions and ranges for your measurements.
• When using alligator clips, keep fingers behind the finger guards.
• Use only exact fuse replacement and specified replacement parts.
• When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before
connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before
disconnecting the common test lead.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and/or injury, replace or
recharge the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Check Meter
operation on a known source before and after use.
• Use only AA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to power the Product (see
Section 5.1: Battery Replacement).
• When servicing, use only specified user serviceable replacement parts.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be used
to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Only use the test lead provided with the Product or UL Listed Probe Assembly rated
CAT III 600 V or better.
• Do not use the HOT STICK (TIC 410A) to operate the AT-6000-R Receiver at voltages above 600 V.
• Remove the batteries if the Meter is not used for an extended period of time, or if
stored in temperatures above 122 °F (50 °C). If the batteries are not removed, battery
leakage can damage the Meter.
• Follow all battery care and charging instructions from the battery manufacturer.
