SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed below 
must be carefully followed for safe operation. 

1. 

NEVER

 apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum: 

Input Protection Limits 

Function Maximum 

Input 

V AC/DC, Resistance, Diode Test, Continuity 

600 VDC/AC rms 

μ

A or mA AC/DC 

200mA fused 

A  AC/DC 

10A fused 

2. 

USE EXTREME CAUTION

 when working with high voltages. 

3. 

DO NOT

 measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 600V above earth 

ground. 

4. 

NEVER

 connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the 

current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter. 

5. 

ALWAYS

 discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making 

resistance or diode tests. 

6. 

ALWAYS

 turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace 

the fuse or batteries. 

7. 

NEVER

 operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse covers are in place 

and fastened securely. 

8. 

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided 
by the equipment may be impaired.
