Safety
Precautions
Read
and
follow
these
safety
precautions.
Never
apply
voltages
to
the
meter
that
exceed
the
limits
givenin
the
specifications.
Never
apply
more
than
1000V
DC
or
750V
RMS
AC
between
the
input jacks
and
ground.
+
Use
extreme
caution when
working
with
voltages
above
100V.
Always
disconnect
power
from
the
circuit
you
are
measuring
before
you
connect
test
leads
to
high-voltage
points.
+
Never
connect
the
test
leads
to
a
voltage
source
when
you
set the
meter's
function
dial
to
H2/LOGIC,
»)/D+,
QAF
mA/A/==
or
yA/A/=2.
+
Always
discharge
any
capacitors
of
the
circuit
under
test
before
you
attach
test
leads.
+
Always
turn
off
power
and
disconnect
the
test
leads
from
the
circuit
you
are
testing
before
you
replace
the
meter's
battery
or
fuse.
Never
operate
the
meter
unless
its
back
cover
and
battery
cover
are
in
place
and
secured.
+
Never
try
to
probe
with
both
test
leads
at
the
same
time
or
hold
both
test
leads
in
one
hand.
+
The
testleads
supplied
with
your
meter
are
rated for
1000V.
Use
only
test
leads
of
the
same
rating
with
the
meter.
You
can
order
replacement
leads
from
your
local
RadioShack
store.
+
Donotuseafuse
of
brand
or
rating
other
than
those
specified
here.
Doing
so
might
damage
your
meter.
+
Because
many
AC/DC
sets
have
a
potentially
hot
chassis,
be
sure
the
top
of
your
workbench
and
the
floor
underneath
it
are
made of
non-conductive
materials.
+
Your
multimeter
is
designed
primarily
to
measure
household
AC
voltages.
Because
of
the
dangers
inherent
in
measuring
three-phase
circuits,
we
strongly
recommend
you
do
not
use
this
meter
to
measure
3-phase,
line-to-
line
voltage.
If
you
still
want
to,
put
on
protective
clothing—a
face
shield
and
fireproof
gloves
and
upper
body
protection
is
required
before
measuring.
If
you
do
not
have
this
protection,
DO
NOT
MEASURE
THESE
CIRCUITS.
«
Toreduce
the
risk
of
fire
or
shock
hazard, do
not
expose
this
product
to
rain
or
moisture.
For
indoor
use
only.
+
When
you
are
not
using
the
meter,
always
turn
it off.
+
Ifthis
equipment
is
used
in
a
manner
not
specified
in
this
user's
guide,
the
protection
provided
by
the
equipment
may
be
impaired.
This
meter
is
fully
calibrated
and
tested.
Under
normal
use,
no
further
adjustment
should
be
necessary.
If
the
meter
requires
repair,
do
not
try
to
adjust
it
yourself.
Take
it
to
your
local
RadioShack
store.
