Safety Precautions
Read
and
follow these
safety
precautions.
Never
apply
voltages to
the
meter
that
exceed
the
limits
givenin
the
specifications.
Never apply
more than
1000V
DC
or
750V
RMS
AC
between
the
input jacks
and
ground.
+
Use
extreme caution when
working with
voltages above
100V. Always
disconnect
power
from
the
circuit you
are measuring before
you connect
test
leads to high-voltage points.
+
Never
connect
the
test
leads
to
a
voltage source when
you
set the
meter's
function
dial
to H2/LOGIC,
»)/D+,
QAF mA/A/== or yA/A/=2.
+
Always
discharge
any
capacitors of
the
circuit under
test
before
you
attach
test
leads.
+
Always
turn
off power and disconnect
the
test
leads
from
the
circuit
you
are
testing before
you replace
the meter's battery
or
fuse.
Never
operate the meter
unless
its
back cover and
battery
cover are
in
place and
secured.
+
Never
try
to probe
with
both
test
leads
at
the
same
time
or
hold
both
test
leads
in
one
hand.
+
The
testleads
supplied
with
your
meter
are
rated for
1000V. Use only
test
leads
of
the
same
rating with
the
meter.
You
can order replacement leads
from
your
local
RadioShack
store.
+
Donotuseafuse
of brand or
rating other
than
those
specified here.
Doing
so
might damage your meter.
+
Because many
AC/DC
sets
have a
potentially hot chassis, be sure
the
top
of your workbench and
the
floor
underneath
it
are made of non-conductive
materials.
+
Your multimeter
is
designed
primarily
to measure household
AC
voltages.
Because of
the
dangers inherent
in
measuring three-phase
circuits,
we
strongly recommend
you
do not use
this
meter to measure 3-phase,
line-to-
line
voltage.
If
you
still want
to,
put on protective clothing—a face
shield and
fireproof
gloves and
upper body protection
is
required before
measuring.
If
you
do not
have
this protection,
DO NOT
MEASURE
THESE
CIRCUITS.
«
Toreduce
the
risk
of
fire
or shock hazard, do not expose this
product
to
rain
or moisture.
For
indoor use
only.
+
When
you
are not
using
the
meter,
always
turn
it off.
+
Ifthis
equipment
is
used
in
a
manner not specified
in
this user's
guide,
the
protection provided
by
the
equipment
may
be
impaired.
This meter
is
fully
calibrated
and
tested. Under
normal
use,
no further adjustment
should be necessary.
If
the
meter
requires
repair,
do
not
try
to adjust
it
yourself.
Take
it
to
your
local
RadioShack
store.
