• For all dc functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to
avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper reading,
verify the presence of any ac voltages by first using the ac
function. Then select a dc voltage range equal to or greater
than the ac range.
• 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 (B)
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.
• When in REL mode the Ssymbol is displayed. Caution must
be used because hazardous voltage may be present.
• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter
case or battery door.
• When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement
parts.
