To avoid damages to the instrument, do not exceed the 

maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical 

specification tables. 

When the multimeter is linked to measurement circuits, do 

not touch unused terminals. 

Caution when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac 

rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. 

When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger 

guards. 

When making connections, connect the common test lead 

before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, 

disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the 

common test lead. 

Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from 

the circuit under test. 

For all dc functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to 

avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper reading, 

verify the presence of any ac voltages by first using the ac 

function. Then select a dc voltage range equal to or 

greater than the ac range. 

Disconnect circuits power and discharge all high-voltage 

capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or 

capacitance. 

Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on 

live circuits. 

Before measuring current, check the meter's fuse and turn 

off power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the 

circuit. 

 

*

 In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on 

power switching circuits, remember that high amplitude 

voltage pulses at the test points can damage the multimeter. 

Use of a TV filter will attenuate any such pulses. 

Use the 9V NEDA battery, properly installed in the Meter's 

battery case, to power the Meter. 

Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator ( 

 ) 

appears. With a low battery, the Meter might produce 

false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal 

injury. 

Do not measure voltages above 600V in Category III, or 

1000V in Category II installations.   

Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) 

removed.
