first displayed, at least 8 hours of battery life remain. Replace the
battery immediately. Never leave a weak or dead battery in the
Meter. Even leak-proof types can leak and damages the Meter.

(Overload Indication). Displayed on the LCD when input
is too large to display.
Using Test Leads
Use only the same type of test leads as are supplied with the Meter.
These test leads are rated for 1200 volts. Although these test leads are
rated for 1200 volts, do not try to measure any voltage greater than
1000 volts DC or 750 volts AC.
NOTE: In some DC and AC voltage ranges with test leads not
connected to any circuits, the display might show
fluctuating readings due to the high input impedance. This
is normal. When you connect the test leads to a circuit, a
real measurement appears.
Using Holster and Stand
The Meter comes with a protective holster that absorbs shocks and
protects the Meter from rough handling. The holster is equipped with a
stand rest.
4.1 Measuring Voltage
WARNINGS!
TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INSTRUMENT
DAMAGE, INPUT VOLTAGES MUST NOT EXCEED 1000V DC OR
750V AC (RMS). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE ANY UNKNOWN
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT THAT MAY BE IN EXCESS OF 1000V
DC OR 750V AC (RMS).
THIS METER IS DESIGNED FOR MEASUREMENT IN WEAK
CURRENT CIRCUITS. DO NOT USE IT FOR STRONG CURRENT
CIRCUITS (POWER LINE IN FACTORIES AND SO ON HAVING
LARGE CURRENT CAPACITY). USE IN STRONG CURRENT
CIRCUITS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE SURGE VOLTAGE IN
FAR EXCESS OF RATING IS OFTEN APPLIED TO THEM.
NOTE: When taking voltage measurements, this Meter must be
connected in PARALLEL with the circuit, or circuit
element under test.
