SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed to be safe in use, but the operator must use caution in
its operation. The rules listed below should be carefully followed for safe operation.
•
Avoid Working Alone.
•
Do not use Non-Rechargeable Batteries (Alkaline, Carbon Zinc etc.) together with
the AC power Adapter.
•
Do not turn the Rotary switch to HI-Z/ range while the Test Leads are connected to
a High Voltage
•
When measuring resistance (OHMS) be sure the circuit is non-powered. Ohms can
not be measured if there is voltage in the circuit being measured.
•
When using the inductive pick up lead, be sure you keep the inductive clamp away
from adjoining high tension spark plugs leads to prevent the clamp from picking up
signals from those leads.
•
Use a current clamp to measure circuits exceeding 20A.
•
When measuring current, turn the power off before connecting the meter to the
circuit.
•
Select the proper function and range for your measurement.
•
Never connect more than one set of test leads to the meter.
•
Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
•
Choose the proper range and function for the measurement.
•
Do not try voltage or current measurements that may exceed the ratings marked on
the function/range switch or terminal.
•
Avoid Electrical Shock. Do not touch the test leads tips or the circuit being tested.
•
Never operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery/fuse door are in
place and fastened securely
