•  Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before 

using the Meter.

•  Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.
•  Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus 

bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric shock.

•  Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.
•  When measuring current, center the conductor in the clamp.
•  Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, 

between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

•  Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or 

battery cover.

•  Never operate the Meter with the battery cover removed or the case 

open.

•  Never remove the battery cover or open the case of the Meter without 

first removing the test leads or the jaws from a live conductor.

•  Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac 

peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.

•  Do not attempt to measure any voltage that might exceed the 

maximum range of the Meter.

•  Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
•  Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
•  When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards.
•  When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead 

before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect 

the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

•  Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors 

before testing resistance, continuity, or diodes.

•  Use only 1.5V AA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to 

power the Meter.

•  To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, 

replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (

N

) appears. 

Check Meter operation on a known source before and after use.

•  When servicing, use only specified replacement parts.
•  Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective 

equipment must be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where 

hazardous live conductors are exposed.

•  Do not use the Meter if the wear indicator in the jaw opening is not 

visible.

•  Only use the test lead provided with the Meter or UL Listed Probe 

Assembly rated CAT III 1000 V or better.
