W Warning
To avoid electrical shock and injury:
• Remove Test Leads before making current measurements.
• Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
• Do not use the Meter to measure currents above the maximum rated
frequency (400Hz). Circulating currents may cause the magnetic circuits
of the Jaws reach hazardous excessive temperatures.
To measure AC or DC low-current for small conductors:
