voltage, as marked on the Meter,
between the terminals or between any

connect the common test lead before
connecting the live test lead; when
disconnecting, disconnect the live test
lead before disconnecting the common
test lead.
• Do not use the Meter if it operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired.
When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
• Use only a single 9 volt battery, properly
installed in the Meter case, to power the
