W Warnings and Cautions
To ensure that the meter is used safely and to avoid damage to the meter:
•  Use the meter only as described in this manual, or the protection provided
by the meter might be impaired.
•  Verify the meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
•  Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you sus-
pect that the meter is not operating properly. If in doubt have the meter
serviced.
•  Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (N) appears to
avoid false readings that can lead to shock and injury.
•  Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or
breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
•  Do not apply more than 600 V rms  between a terminal and earth ground.
•  Use caution when working above 60 V dc or 30 V ac rms. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
•  Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes when using the
probes.
•  Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
