1. 

     SAFETY INFORMATION 

Do not operate the tester if the body of meter or the test lead look 
broken. 
Check the main function dial and make sure it is at the correct position 
before each measurement. 
Do not perform resistance and continuity test on a live power system. 
Do not apply voltage between the test terminals and test terminal to 
ground that exceed the maximum limit record in this manual. 
Keep the fingers after the protection ring when measuring through the 
test lead. 
Chang the battery when the  

  symbol appears to avoid incorrect 

data.
