TERMS IN THIS MANUAL
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that could pose serious hazards to the
user. A Caut
i
on iden
t
ifies conditions and actions that could
cause damage the
meter or the equipment under test.
Warning
Do not expose the meter to rain or moisture in order to reduce the risk of fire or
elec
t
ric shock. To avoid
any electrical shock hazard, observe
t
he proper
safety
precautions when working
with voltages above 60
V dc or 30V ac rms, these
vol
t
age
levels pose a poten
t
ial shock
hazard to
the user.
Inspect tes t leads,
connectors and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the
meter. If any defects are found, replace them immediately. Do not touch test lead
tips or t he
circui
t
being
t
ested while power is applied
to the circuit under
test.
Always keep your fingers behind
t
he finger guards of
the test leads during
measurement.
Do not measure any circui
t
tha
t
draws more than the
protection
fuse’s current rating
.
Do
not attempt the protection
fuse’s vol
t
age rating. Never
attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead inserted into
the mA µA
or
A
input terminal. When servicing the meter, use only
speci
f
ied replacement parts.
Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door. Do not operate
the me
t
er
with the battery
door removed or loosened. To avoid false readings,
which could result in possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery
as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Avoid working alone.
Caution
Dis connect
t
he tes
t
l eads from
the test points before changing
f
unctions.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high voltage capacitors before
testing
resistance, continuity, capacitance or diodes. Always set the meter to the highest
range
and
work downward for an
unknown value in the
manual ranging
mode.
Before measuring current, check
the meter’s
fuses and turn power OFF
to the
circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
