SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Use sockets, functions and measuring ranges as described herein.
• Do not use the multimeter if its housing is damaged. Pay particular attention to the
connection sockets.
• Use original probes from this model of the multimeter. Do not use defective probes.
Check the insulation of the probes regularly. When measuring, keep your ngers behind
the barrier edge of the probes.
• Do not use the device with the back lid open or the housing loosely closed.
• Never exceed the overload capacity values of the device specied for each measuring
range.
• Do not touch any unused sockets when the device is connected to the measured circuit.
• If you do not know the measured value order before measuring, set the range switch to
the maximum value.
• Before changing the position of the range switch, disconnect the probes from the circuit
to be measured.
• When measuring in TV sets and static power supplies, be aware that high voltage pulses
may be present at the measured points, which can damage the device.
• Disconnect power and discharge high voltage capacitors when measuring electrical
resistance, testing circuit continuity and diodes.
• Before installing the transistor for testing, make sure that the probes are not connected
to electrical circuits.
• Never measure resistance in a closed circuit.
• Replace the battery as soon as the symbol appears
