WWarnings and Precautions
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•
Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might
be impaired.
•
Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating
properly.
•
Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
•
Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter
serviced.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a
shock hazard.
•
To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace the battery as soon
as the low battery indicator (
N) appears.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
•
Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
•
When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the battery door or the Meter case.
