Maximum voltage available (meter switched to volts) and connected betwee

Subject: Maximum voltage available (meter switched to volts) and connected betwee=
n sleeve and tip or ring  (typically 2-4 volts)
Message: 2. 
Subject: Maximum current available (meter set to mA or uA) and connected 
between =
sleeve and tip or ring   (typically 0.3-1.3 mA)
Message: 3. 
Subject: Voltage across a known resistor (ideally around 1000 ohm) connected 
betw=
een sleeve and tip or ring
Message: 4. 
Subject: Value of that resistor in ohms

For those without a suitable resistor to hand measurements 3 and 4 are
not essential but will be useful, particularly in determining if the
device uses a constant current supply.

Please do not undertake if you have any concerns for your or your
equipment's safety.
