Safety
To ensure safe operation and service of this meter, follow these
instructions:
• Ensure that the DC 9V battery is connected to its snap terminal with the
right polarity and correctly placed in the battery compartment
• Place the Red and Black test leads into the proper input terminal before
taking any measurements
• Remove one of the test leads from the circuit before changing the
measurement range
• Be sure to release the data hold button before taking a new
measurement otherwise the display reading will freeze permanently
• Do not allow the input terminal to exceed the maximum rated voltage
• Always switch the function rotary switch to the OFF position when the
instrument is not operation
• Remove the battery if the instrument will not be used for an extended
period of time
• Even though the ohm and capacitance ranges have an overload
protection circuit, it is prohibited to apply any voltage to the input
terminal when taking measurements
• The water resistance casing is applicable for the front panel on the
instrument only. Do not throw the instrument into water or the meter will
be damaged permanently
• When changing the test leads you should only use the replacements
that have the approval of CAT III-1000V
• Only use a dry cloth to clean the plastic case
Caution: Risk of electric shock.
Caution: Do not apply overload voltage or current to the input
terminal. Always remove test leads before opening
the battery cover.
