Triplett Model 9045

2.10 Make sure test leads are properly inserted and seated in the meter’s input
jacks. A loose test lead may cause the user to believe that no hazard exists,
when in fact, dangerous voltages or currents may be present. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to
the user.

2.11 Do not touch the tips of the test leads when making a measurement. Do not
touch live circuitry when making a measurement. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.12 Before using the meter, examine both the meter and the test leads for
damage. Do not use the meter if damage (damaged insulation, exposed
metal, cracked case, burnt smell, etc.) is evident. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.13 Insert the test leads in the jacks specified in the instructions for performing
particular tests. Inserting the test leads in incorrect jacks can damage the
meter and/or injure the user.

2.14 Do not exceed the maximum voltage or current limitations of the meter
(see product specifications). Doing so may damage the meter and/or
injure the user.

2.15 Do not apply voltage or current to the input of the meter when it is set to any
of the Ohms Ω ranges. Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure
the user.

2.16 Do not apply voltage or current to the input of the meter when it is set to the

Diode Test

or Continuity Beeper

modes. Doing so may damage

the meter and/or injure the user.

2.17 Do not attempt to measure a voltage source with the test leads plugged into
the meter’s uA/mA or 10A jacks. Doing so may damage the meter and/or
injure the user.

2.18 Do not rotate the Function switch with the test leads connected to the
circuitry to be tested. Doing so may damage the meter or the circuitry,
and/or injure the user.

2.19 Replace fuses only with exact or equivalent fuses. Do not “bridge” fuses out
of circuit. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the
meter or injury to the user.
