Safety Precautions
1.
Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual
before operating the meter.
2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and secured.
3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter. Repair any
damage before use.
5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.
6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These
voltages are considered a shock hazard.
7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Capacitance, Diode,
Resistance or Continuity tests.
8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long periods.
9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC.
10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the
electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".
