WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with
voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock
hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being tested while power is
applied to the circuit being measured. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards of the
test leads during measurement. Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged
insulation or exposed metal before using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace
them immediately. Do not measure any current that exceeds the current rating of the
protection fuse. Do not attempt a current measurement to any circuit where the open
circuit voltage is above the protection fuse voltage rating. Suspected open circuit voltage
should be checked with voltage functions. Never attempt a voltage measurement with the
test lead inserted into the
µ
A/mA or A input jack. Only replace the blown fuse with the
proper rating as specified in this manual.
CAUTION
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing functions. Always set the
instrument to the highest range and work downward for an unknown value when using
manual ranging mode.
