the Meter serviced.
˙ Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on meter, between
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
˙ Do not attempt a current measurement when the open circuit voltage is
above the fuse protection rating.
Check the open circuit voltage with the voltage function.
˙ Only replace a blown fuse with one of the proper rating as specified in this
