DIGITAL MULTIMETER
SAFETY INFORMATION
or same electric ratings.
1.2 DURING USE
1.2.1 Before using, you must select the right input jack,
function and range.
1.2.2 Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in
specifications for each range of measurement.
1.2.3 When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit, do
not touch unused terminals.
1.2.4 At the manual range, when the value scale to be
measured is unknown beforehand, set the range
selector at the highest position.
1.2.5 Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the
terminals exceeds 600V above earth ground.
1.2.6 Always be careful when working with voltages above
60V DC or 30V AC rms, keep fingers behind the probe
barriers while measuring.
1.2.7 Never connect the meter leads across a voltage
source while the transform switch is in the current,
resistance, capacitance, temperature, diode, transistor
or continuity mode. Doing so can damage the meter.
1.2.8 Before rotating the transform switch to change
functions and ranges, disconnect test leads from the
circuit under test.
1.2.9 Never perform resistance, capacitance, temperature,
transistor, diode and continuity measurements on live
circuits.
1.2.10 Never use the meter under the condition of the
explosive air, steam or dirt.
