 WARNINGS 

To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these 

instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in 

severe injury or death.

•  Before each use verify meter operation by measuring a known 

voltage or current.

•  Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the 

category based rating of this meter.

•  Do not use the meter during electrical storms or in wet weather.

•  Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.

•  Use only with CAT III or CAT IV rated test leads.

•  Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep fingers away 

from the metal probe contacts when making measurements.

•  Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes 

are connected.

•  Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS 

or 60V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

•  To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock, 

replace batteries when a low battery indicator appears.

•  Do not attempt to measure resistance or continuity on a live circuit.

•  Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal 

protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury 

where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
