range, do not connect or disconnect leads without first isolating
the current. If you do, there is a risk of generating surge
currents, which can blow the fuses or damage the instrument.
•
In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on power
switching circuits, remember that high amplitude voltage pulses
at the test points can damage the multimeter. Use of a type TV
filter will attenuate any such pulses.
•
Never perform resistance measurements on live circuits.
•
Make sure that you do not block ventilation.
