Safety Precautions
1. Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock,
injury or death. Read and understand this users manual
before operating the meter.
2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed
and secured.
3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery
or fuses.
4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself
for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or
replace any damage before use.
5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.
6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages
are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are
considered a shock hazard.
7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the
device under test before performing Capacitance, Diode,
Resistance or Continuity tests.
8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be
stored for long periods.
9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any
circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V AC.
10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and
misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the
electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure
that the terminals are not "live".
11. The product is intended only for indoor use
12. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
13. Pollution degree: 2
