
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the
battery as soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.

Do not use the meter in a manner not specified by this manual or the safety features provided by
the meter may be impaired.

When in Data Hold mode, the symbol ( ) is displayed. Caution must be used because
hazardous voltage may be present.

To avoid electric shock, do not touch any naked conductor with your hand or skin, and do not
ground yourself while using the meter.

Comply with local and national safety requirements when you work in hazardous locations. Use
correct protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities, when you work in
hazardous areas.

When an input terminal is connected to dangerous live potential, it is to be noted that this potential
can occur at all other terminals!

CAT II - Measurement Category II is for measurements on all domestic appliances with plug
connection and measurements on electrical circuit in automotive and motorcycle sector like fuses,
wiring, fuse boxes, switches, etc. Do not use the meter for measurements within measurement
Categories III or higher. Do not use the meter for measurement on distribution boards, circuit
breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket outlets in the fixed
building installation.
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, follow these guidelines:

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before testing resistance, diode, continuity
and temperature.

Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurements.

Before measuring current and temperature, check the meter's fuse and turn off the power to the
circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.

Before rotating the rotary switch to change functions, disconnect test leads from the circuit under
test.

Remove test leads from the meter before opening the meter case or the battery cover.

If the display shows a " 1 ", this means that the selected measuring range is chosen too small, e.g.
if you choose the 200V measuring range the applied voltage is over 200V.
