Do not connect the thermocouple to electrically live circuits. Doing
so will potentially cause fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not bend the thermocouple leads at sharp angles. Repeated
bending over a period of time can break the leads.
The multimeter uses a type- K (default setting) temperature
probe for measuring temperature. To measure temperature,
set up your multimeter as shown in Figure 2- 29.

Temperature measurement
Probe the test points, and read the display. The primary
display normally shows temperature or the message OL (open
thermocouple). The open thermocouple message may be due
to a broken (open) probe or because no probe is installed
into the input jacks of the multimeter.
