•
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:
Input Limits
Function Maximum Input

V DC or V AC 600 V dc/ac, 200 V rms on 200 mV range 200 mA
mA DC 600 V fast acting fuse
A DC
10 A 600 V fast acting fuse (30 seconds max every 15 minutes)
250 V rms for
Resistance, Continuity 15 seconds max
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device
in d ic a te s that the operator must refer to an explanation in the

This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which if not avoided, may result damage to the product.
•
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
•
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the “COM” input jack exceeds 500 V above
earth ground.
•
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in
the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter.
•
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when
making resistance or diode tests.
•
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the doors to
replace the fuse or batteries.
