• Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions are noted, such as broken case, cracked
test leads and exposed metal part.
• Do not change the measurement function with test leads connected to the circuit under test.
• Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument.
• Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.
• Always switch off the instrument before opening the battery compartment cover for battery replacement.
• Select the proper measurement function measurement.
• Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
• Be sure to power off the instrument after use. When the instrument will not be in use for
a long period, place it in storage after removing the batteries.
• Use only a soft cloth dampened with water or neutral detergent for cleaning the meter.
Do not use abrasives, solvents or harsh chemicals. Allow to dry thoroughly before use.
WARNING
CAUTION
Measurement Categories (Over-Voltage Categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical
environments, specified as CAT I through CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered
categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument
designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
• CAT I: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical outlet through a transformer or similar device.
• CAT II: Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
• CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from
the distribution panel to outlets.
• CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance and to the power meter and primary over current
protection device (distribution panel).
