XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
• Use this Meter only as specified in this manual or the
protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.
• Do not use the Meter if it is damaged. Before using the
Meter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the
connectors.
• Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before
operating the Meter.
• Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (M)
appears.
• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the
battery door.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed
metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged
test leads before using the Meter.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
• Never operate the Meter with the cover removed or the case
open.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms,
42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock
hazard.
• Use only the replacement fuses specified in this manual.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for
measurements.
• Avoid working alone.
• When measuring current, turn off circuit power before
connecting the Meter in the circuit. Remember to place the
