The i30s and i30 may only be used and handled by qualified personnel. To avoid personal injury, follow these precautions:

• To avoid electric shock, use caution during installation and use of this product; high voltages and currents may be present in the circuit under test.
• Do not use the product if damaged. Always connect the probe to the display device before it is installed around the conductor.
• Always ensure the probe is removed from any live electric circuit, and leads are disconnected before removing the battery cover.
• Use the Current Probe only as specified in the operating instructions; otherwise, the current probe’s safety features may not protect you.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be used to prevent the shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Do not hold the Current Probe anywhere beyond the tactile indicator.
• Before each use, inspect the Current Probe. Look for cracks or missing portions of the Current Probe housing or output cable insulation. Also, look for loose or weakened components. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the jaws.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60 V dc, 30 V ac RMS or 42 V ac peak. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Use of this equipment is designed to protect against transients in equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and lighting systems in large buildings.
• Use of this equipment in a manner not specified herein may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
