• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range
for measurements
• Verify the instrument is operating correctly by measuring a known voltage
before use. If in doubt, have the instrument calibrated
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on instrument, between
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground
• Only replace the blown fuse with the correct type and rating as specied in
this manual
• Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak , or 60 Vdc. These
voltages pose a shock hazard
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace
battery as soon as low battery indicator “<” appears
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
making resistance measurements
• Do not use the instrument in hazardous areas or around explosive gases or
