Making Basic Measurements
The figures on the following pages show how to make basic
measurements.

Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
•
Disconnect power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before you measure
resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a
diode junction.
•
Remove circuit power before you connect
the Product in the circuit when you
measure current. Connect the Product in
series with the circuit.
•
Do not use the HOLD function to measure
unknown potentials. When HOLD is
turned on, the display does not change
when a different potential is measured.
When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device, connect
the common (
COM
) test lead before connecting the live lead;
when removing the test leads, remove the live lead before
removing the common test lead.

Warning
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to
the Meter, disconnect circuit power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or
capacitance.
