disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
* Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
* For all DC functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper
reading, verify the presence of any AC voltages by first using the AC function. Then select a DC voltage
range equal to or greater than the AC range.
* Disconnect circuits power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity,
diodes, or capacitance.
* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on live circuits.
* Before measuring current, please check the meter’s fuse and turn off power to the circuit before connecting
the meter to the circuit.
* In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on power switching circuits, remember that high
amplitude voltage pulses at the test points can damage the multimeter. Use of a TV filter will attenuate
any such pulses.
* Use just 3V battery, properly installed in the Meter’s battery case, to power the Meter.
* Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (
) appears. With a low battery, the Meter might
produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
* Do not measure voltages above 1000V in Category III, or 600V in Category IV installations.
* When in REL mode, the “REL” symbol is displayed. Caution must be used because hazardous voltage
may be present.
* Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed

1.3. Instructions
* Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery cover.
* When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
* Before opening up the instrument, always disconnect from all sources of electric current and make sure
