SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with
caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe
operation.
1.
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
Input Protection Limits
Function Maximum
Input
V DC or V AC
1000VDC/AC rms
mA AC/DC
800mA 1000V fast acting fuse
A AC/DC
10A 1000V fast acting fuse (20A for 30
seconds max every 15 minutes)
Frequency, Resistance,

2.
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
3.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack
exceeds 600V above earth ground.
4.
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.
5.
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
6.
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before
opening the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
