WARNING

––to read this user manual in details.
––to abide by the safety regulations and precautions strictly.

The tester is conforming to IEC61010 on design, production and 
test.
Under  any  circumstance, it shall pay special attention on safety
in use of this tester.
Pay attention to words and symbols stick on the Tester.
It  shall   make  sure  that  tester  and  accessories  are  in  good 
condition  before  use;  it  can  be  used  only  when  there  is no 
damaged,  naked  or  broken  part in  testing  wires or  insulation 
layer.
During  measurement,  it  is  forbidden to  touch bare conductors
and circuit under measurement.
Before measurement, please confirm whether                    rotary
switch has been set within the proper measuring range.
Confirm  that  connector  plug  of  lead  has been  inserted in the
tester interface closely.
Please don’t  impose over 600V A.C. or D.C. voltage on the part
between  testing   end  and  interface.  Otherwise,  it   may  have 
damage on the tester.
Please  don’t  measure  in  an  inflammable   place.   The   flame 
sparkle maybe cause explosion.

FUNCTION

During usage  of  tester, please stop using it when exposed metal 
is caused by broken enclosure or testing wires.
Please  don’t  keep  or  store  the  tester  in  the  spot  with  high-
temperature  and  moisture,  or  condensation,  and  under direct
daylight radiation for a long time.
If the instrument is damp, please dry it before keeping.
For  replacing  battery,  please  confirm  testing  wire  has moved 
apart the meter, and                   rotary switch is in “

OFF

” position.

Please put the used batteries in appointed collection place.
The Tester has no auto shut-off function. Please set                    
rotary switch to “

OFF

” after usage.

When  the  meter  displays  battery low voltage symbol        , and 
you need to replace the battery in time.
If the Tester is not going to be used for a long period, remove the
battery.
Pay   attention   to   measuring   range  and  usage  environment 
stipulated for the Tester.
This  measuring  device  is   only   to   be   used,   disassembled, 
adjusted and repaired by qualified personnel with authorization.
When  it  may  cause hazard by continuous use for the reason of
the  Tester itself,  it  shall immediately stop using it and deposit it 
at once, leaving it for disposal by authorized agency.
For risk of danger icon in manual “   ”, users must perform safety
operations strictly in compliance with the manual content.
