CAUTION
●Make sure that the function selector switch is set to an appropriate
position before making measurement.
●Always make sure to insert the plug of each lead fully into the
appropriate terminal on the instrument.
●Be sure to set the function selector switch to the "OFF" position
after use. When the instrument will not be in use for a long period
of time, place it in storage after removing the batteries.
●Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, extreme temperatures
or dew fall.
●Use a damp cloth and detergent for cleaning the instrument. Do
not use abrasives or solvents.

Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010
establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,
categorized as CATⅠ to CATⅣ, and called measurement
categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring
instrument designed for CATⅢ environments can endure greater
momentary energy than one designed for CATⅡ.
CAT Ⅰ : Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical
outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT Ⅱ : Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an
AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
CAT Ⅲ : Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected
directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the
distribution panel to outlets.
CAT Ⅳ :The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,
and to the power meter and primary over-current
protection device (distribution panel).
