A WORD ABOUT SAFETY
We have taken every precaution in designing this meter
to ensure that it is as safe as we can make it. But, safe
operation depends on you, the operator. We recommend
that you follow these simple safety rules:
• Never apply voltages to the meter that exceed the
limits given in the specifications. Never apply more
than 1000V DC or 750V RMS AC between input
jacks or ground.
• Use extreme caution when working with voltages
above 100V. Always disconnect power from the cir-
cuit you are measuring before you connect test leads
to high-voltage points.
• Never connect to a source of voltage when you
select diode check, resistance measurement, conti-
nuity, or one of the current measurement functions.
• Always discharge filter capacitors in the power sup-
ply of the circuit under test before you attach test
leads.
• Always turn off power and disconnect the test leads
before you replace the batteries or fuse.
• Never operate the meter unless the back cover is in
place and fully closed.
