CAUTIONS

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this
user manual before operating the meter.

Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the
meter.

Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or
35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

Warning! This is a class A equipment. This equipment can cause interferences in the
living quarters; in this case the operator can be required to carry out adequate
measures.

Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing
Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of
connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the
terminals are not "live".

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

This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous objects as well
as small parts that the children could swallow. In case a child swallows any of them, please
contact a physician immediately

Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended; they can be dangerous for
children if they use them as toys

In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent them from training

Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with the skin. Always, therefore,
use suitable hand gloves in such cases

See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.
