Make sure both test leads are fully inserted into their respec-
tive input jacks (Black lead into COM and Red lead into
6s/s-
). A loose test lead may cause the user to misinter-
pret the dangers present (the meter may read Zero when
dangerous voltage is present) or the loose lead may
accidentally short to other circuitry or shock the user.
s
Do not use the meter if either the meter or the test leads are
wet, either from exposure to the weather, or after cleaning
the case of the meter. Doing so may cause injury to the user.
s
Avoid usage near strong magnetic fields (magnets,
loudspeakers, transformers, motors, coils, relays,
contactors, electromagnets, etc.). The meter may display
readings that are in error, causing the user to misinterpret
the hazards present. For example, the meter may indicate a
low voltage when high voltages are actually present.
s
Avoid usage near strong electrostatic fields (high voltage
power lines, televisions, computer monitors, etc.). The
meter may display readings that are in error, causing the
user to misinterpret the hazards present. For example, the
meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are
actually present.
s
Avoid usage near strong RF fields (radio or television trans-
mitters, etc.). The meter may display readings that are in
error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present.
For example, the meter may indicate a low voltage when
high voltages are actually present.
s
Do not touch the tips of the test leads when making a meas-
urement. Do not touch live circuitry when making a
measurement.
s
Do not apply more than 1200 volts DC/AC rms sine between
the test leads and the earth ground. Doing so may damage
the meter and/or injure the user.
s)FT
here is any doubt about the condition of the meter (i.e.
safe vs unsafe), remove the meter from service and secure
it in a location that will prevent its unintentional use.
