Safety Notices
CAUTION
A CAUTION notice denotes a haz-
ard. It calls attention to an operat-
ing procedure, practice, or the likes
of that, if not correctly performed
or adhered to, could result in dam-
age to the product or loss of impor-
tant data. Do not proceed beyond a
CAUTION notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and
met.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a
hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure, practice, or
the likes of that, if not correctly
performed or adhered to, could
result in personal injury or death.
Do not proceed beyond a WARN-
ING notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood
and met.

Safety Considerations
Read the information below before using this multimeter. The descriptions
and instructions in this manual apply to the Agilent U1271A and U1272A
Handheld Digital Multimeters (hereafter referred to as the multimeter).
The model U1272A appears in all illustrations.
CAUTION
•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
•Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your
measurements.
•This device is for use at altitudes of up to 2,000 m.
•Never measure voltage when current measurement is selected.
•Always use the specified battery type.
WARNING
• Do not use the multimeter if it is damaged. Before you use the
multimeter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the
connectors.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal.
Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads
before you use the multimeter.
• Do not operate the multimeter around explosive gas, vapor, or wet
environments.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage (as marked on the
multimeter) between terminals, or between terminal and earth
ground.
• Never use the multimeter in wet conditions or when there is
water on the surface. If the multimeter is wet, ensure that the
multimeter is dried only by trained personnel.
• Before use, verify the multimeter's operation by measuring a
known voltage.
U1271A/U1272A Service Guide V
WARNING
• When measuring current, turn off the circuit power before
connecting the multimeter in the circuit. Remember to place the
multimeter in series with the circuit.
• When servicing the multimeter, use only the specified
replacement parts.
• Use caution when working above 60 V DC, 30 V AC RMS, or 42.4 V
peak. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Be aware of the presence of hazardous voltage before using the
Low Pass Filter (LPF) function for voltage measurement. Voltages
measured are usually greater than what indicated on the
multimeter as the voltages with higher frequencies have been
filtered through the LPF function.
• Do not use the ZLOW (low input impedance) function (U1272A
only) to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by
this function’s low input impedance of 2 kΩ.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test
lead. When you disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead
first.
• Remove the test leads from the multimeter before you open the
battery cover.
• Do not operate the multimeter with the battery cover or portions
of the cover removed or loosened.
• To avoid false readings, which may lead to possible electric shock
or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery
indicator appears and flashes.
