WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or
death, follow these guidelines:
• Use the meter only as specified in this manual;
otherwise, the protection provided by the meter
may be impaired.
• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually
inspect the meter to ensure case is not cracked
and back case is securely in place.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged,
metal is exposed, or probes are cracked. Pay
particular attention to the insulation surrounding
the connectors.
• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as
protection maybe impaired.
• Use only correct measurement category (CAT),
voltage, and amperage rated probes, test leads,
and adapters for the measurement.
• Do not use this meter to verify the presence of
hazardous voltages on circuits that may have
voltages generated from frequencies above
1000Hz as the low pass filter limits voltage
measurements to below 1000Hz.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet
weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to,
as marked on the meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
• Do not use without the battery and the back case
properly installed.
• Replace battery as soon as battery indicator
appears to avoid false readings.
• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to
removing battery cover.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no
user-serviceable parts.
• Temperature switch prevents leaving
thermocouple plugged in while measuring
voltage.
• Do not measure current while the test leads are
in the input jacks.
• When measuring high frequency AC current,
do not exceed the rated 600AAC of the clamp.
Failure to adhere may cause the clamp to heat
up dangerously.
• Do not use the HOLD function to measure
unknown potentials. When HOLD is turned on,
the display does not change when a different
potential is measured.
• Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments with
the protective cap of test probe. The protective
cap decreases the exposed probe metal <4mm.
This decreases the possibility of arc flash from
