15 2.41 to avoid damage to the meter and possible user injury, disconnect test leads from test points before changing the function/range. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 2.42 avoid usage near strong magnetic fields (magnets, loudspeakers, t...
Page 18: Caution:
16 2.44 avoid usage near strong rf fields (radio or television transmitters, walkie talkies, cellular phones, etc.). The meter may display readings that are in error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present. For example, the meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are actual...

17 2.47 the non-contact ac voltage detector in the 9055 may not detect the presence of ac voltage in all situations. In particular, a twisted 3 phase cable tends to cancel out its electrostatic field, which can make the cable appear to be "dead". Use caution and good work practices at all times, eve...
