Note: To increase safety it is recommended
that the ground lead be attached first. If there
was any high voltage running through the target
line then providing a ground would allow a means
of redirecting this current away from the transmitter
and operator. These are universal leads so either
may be used for the ground.
NEVER CONNECT TO LINES ENERGIZED WITH
A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL
CURRENT. To increase safety, the ground lead
should be attached first. If there were an unknown
high voltage running through the target line, this
would allow a means of redirecting the current
away from the transmitter and operator.
ALWAYS HOOK UP LEADS FIRST BEFORE
POWERING THE UNIT ON TO AVOID SHOCK.
ALWAYS TURN
DISCONNECTING LEADS.
