Safety 

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 Limits 

Function Maximum 

Input 

V DC, V AC 

600V DC/AC, 200Vrms on 200mV range 

mA DC 

200mA 250V fast acting fuse 

A DC, A AC 

10A 250V fast acting fuse(30 seconds 
max every 15 minutes) 

Resistance, 
Continuity 

250Vrms for 15sec max 

2. 

USE EXTREME CAUTION

 when working with high 

voltages. 

3. 

DO NOT

 measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" 

input jack exceeds 500V 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 doors to replace the fuse or batteries.
