Warnings and Precautions (Continued)
Before measuring current, check the Meter’s fuses (see “Testing the Fuses”) and turn OFF power to the circuit before
connecting the Meter to the circuit.
Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed.
Use only two AA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to power the Meter.
Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator () appears. With a low battery, the Meter might produce false
readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
Do not measure voltages above 600 V in Category II, or 300 V in Category III installations.
Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery door.
When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
