Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door. Do
not operate the meter with the battery door removed or loosened. To
avoid false readings, which could result in possible electric shock or
personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator
appears. Avoid working alone.
Caution
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing functions.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before
testing resistance, continuity, capacitance or diodes. Always set the
meter to the highest range and work downward for an unknown value in
the manual ranging mode. Before measuring current, check the meter’s
fuses and turn power OFF to the circuit before connecting the meter to
the circuit.
