WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE USE OF THIS DEVICE.

 

Improper use of this device can result in injury or death. Follow all safeguards 
suggested in this manual in addition to the normal safety precautions used in 
working with electrical circuits. DO NOT service this device if you are not 
qualified to do so. 

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:

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 power and disconnect test leads before opening the 

covers to replace the fuse or battery. 

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. 

 
 

SAFETY SYMBOLS 

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating 
device indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation 
in the Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage 
to the meter. 

This 

WARNING

 symbol indicates a potentially hazardous 

situation, which if not avoided, could result in death or serious 
injury. 

This 

CAUTION

 symbol indicates a potentially hazardous 

situation, which if not avoided, may result damage to the 
product. 

This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked 
must not be connected to a circuit point at which the voltage 
with respect to earth ground exceeds 600V. 

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them 
as being associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be 
subjected to particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum 
safety, the meter and its test leads should not be handled when 
these terminals are energized. 

This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by 
double insulation or reinforced insulation.
