Read First: Safety Information
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
W
Warning
•
Do not use the tester if it is damaged or operating abnormally.
Protection may be impaired.
•
Before each use:
•
Make sure the battery door is closed and latched.
•
Inspect the tester and test leads. Look for cracks, missing
plastic, exposed metal, or damaged insulation. Replace
damaged test leads before using the tester.
•
Verify the tester’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
•
Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (
M
)
appears.
•
Do not use the tester around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
tester, between terminals or between any terminal and earth
ground.
•
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
•
Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
•
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes.
•
Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test
lead. Disconnect the live test lead first.
•
The display will not display hazardous voltages in display hold.
The voltage indicator LED (
) continues to operate.

Voltage Indicator
While the tester is on, the LED glows when more than 30 V ac or 60 V
dc is present across the leads. (The LED can also glow at lower
voltages.) Be aware that such voltages pose a shock hazard.
Measuring Voltage (V)
The tester automatically selects dc (DC) or ac (AC) voltage mode based
on the peak values of the measured signal.
The tester defaults to ac voltage when turned on.
