* Caution when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac
rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
* When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger
guards.
* When making connections, connect the common test lead
before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting,
disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the
common test lead.
* Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from
the circuit under test.
* 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 attempting to insert transistors for testing, always be
sure that test leads have been disconnected from any
measurement circuits ．
* Components should not be connected to the hFE socket
when making voltage measurements with test leads ．
* Disconnect circuits power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or
capacitance.
* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on
live circuits.
* Before measuring current, check the meter's fuse and turn
off power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the
circuit.
* In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on
power switching circuits, remember that high amplitude
voltage pulses at the test points can damage the multimeter.
Use of a TV filter will attenuate any such pulses.

* Use the 9V NEDA battery, properly installed in the Meter's
battery case, to power the Meter.
* Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator ( )
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 600V in Category III, or
1000V in Category II installations.
* Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case)
removed.
