․
Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the
protection by the Meter might be impaired.
․
Always use proper terminals, switch position, and
range for measurements.
․
Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test
lead inserted into the A input terminal.
․
Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known
voltage. If in doubt, have 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
voltage is above the fuse protection rating. Suspected
open circuit voltage can be checked with voltage fun-
ction.
․
Only replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as
specified in this manual.
․
Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac
peak , or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
․
To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock
and injury, replace battery as soon as low battery indi-
cator
appears.
․
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes,
or capacitance.
․
Do not use Meter around explosive gas or vapor
․
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not ex-
pose this product to rain or moisture.
