Safety
Information
To
ensure
the
safe
operation
and
service
of
the
meter,
follow
these
instructions
closely.
Failure
to
observe
warnings
can
result
in
severe
injury.
WARNINGS
WARNINGS
identify
hazardous
conditions
and
actions
that
could
cause
BODILY
HARM
or
DEATH.
When
handling
test
leads
or
probes,
keep
hands
and
fingers
behind
the
finger
guards
at
all
times.
Remove
test
leads
from
the
meter
before
opening
the
battery
compartment
or
meter
housing.
Use
the
meter
only
as
specified
in
this
User
Guide
or
accompanying
Quick
Start
to
avoid
compromising
the
protections
provided
by
the
meter.
Be
sure
to
use
the
proper
terminals,
switch
positions,
and
ranges
when
taking
measurements.
Verify
the
meter’s
operation
by
measuring
a
known
voltage.
Have
the
meter
serviced
if
the
meter
responds
unusually
or
if
there
are
questions
regarding
the
meter’s
functional
integrity.
Do
not
apply
more
than
the
rated
voltage,
as
marked
on
the
meter,
between
terminals
or
between
any
terminal
and
earth
ground.
Replace
blown
fuses
with
fuses
of
the
same
type
and
rating
as
specified
in
this
User
Guide.
Use
caution
working
with
voltages
above
30
VAC
RMS,
42
VAC
peak,
or
60
VDC.
These
voltages
pose
a
shock
hazard.
To
avoid
misleading
readings
that
could
lead
to
electric
shock
and
injury,
replace
the
batteries
as
soon
as
the
low
battery
indicator
is
displayed.
Disconnect
power
to
the
circuit
under
test
and
discharge
all
high
‐
voltage
capacitors
before
testing
resistance,
continuity,
diodes,
or
capacitance.
Do
not
use
the
meter
in
the
presence
of
explosive
gas
or
vapor.
To
reduce
risk
of
fire
or
electric
shock,
do
not
use
the
meter
if
it
is
wet
and
do
not
expose
the
meter
to
moisture.
Individual
protective
equipment
should
be
used
if
HAZARDOUS
LIVE
parts
in
the
installation
where
measurements
are
to
be
carried
out
could
be
accessible.
CAUTIONS
CAUTIONS

conditions
and
actions
that
could
cause
DAMAGE
to
the
meter
or
equipment
under

Do
not
expose
the
meter
to
extremes
in
temperature
or
high
humidity.
Disconnect
the
test
leads
from
the
test
points
before
changing
the
position
of
the
function
(rotary)
switch.
Do
not

extremes
in
temperature
or
to

Never
set
the
meter
to
the
resistance,
diode,

or
amp
functions
when
measuring
the
voltage
of
a
power
supply
circuit;
this
could
result
in
meter
damage
and
damage
to
the
equipment
under
test.
