• 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 meters fuse and turn off power to the
circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
• When carrying out measurements on TV or switching power circuits, always
remember that there may be high amplitude voltage pulses at the test points
which may damage the meter. Use of a TV filter will attenuate any such pulses.
• To avoid the wrong reading or even electric shocks, when the meter displays
, you must change the battery.
• Do not measure voltages above 600V in category III, or 1000V in Category II installations.
• When in REL mode, the 'REL' symbol is displayed. Caution must be used
because hazardous voltage may be present.
• Do not operate the meter with the case (or part of the case) has been removed.
• For continuous protection against fire, replace fuse ONLY with the specified
voltage and current ratings: F200mA/250V.
