Warning
• Do not apply input voltages above the rating
of the instrument. Use caution when using
1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage
will be directly transmitted to the test tool.
• Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana
plug connectors. Fluke offers cables with
plastic, safety designed BNC connectors
suitable for the Medical ScopeMeter. See
Chapter 7, “Optional Accessories.”
• Do not insert metal objects into connectors.
• Use the test tool only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the test tool can be
compromised.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Do not use the test tool if it operates
abnormally.
• Do not use and disable the test tool if it is
damaged.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.

(CAT), voltage, and amperage rated probes,
test leads, and adapters for the measurement.
