• Set the Function Switch to an appropriate position before starting measurement.
• Firmly insert the test leads.
• Disconnect the test leads from the instrument for current measurement.
• Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
• Be sure to power off the instrument after use. When the instrument will not be in use for a long period,
place it in storage after removing the batteries.
• Use only a soft cloth dampened with water or neutral detergent for cleaning the meter.
Do not use abrasives, solvents or harsh chemicals. Allow to dry thoroughly before use.
CAUTION
Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories)
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, specified as CAT I
through CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary
energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
• CAT I: Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical outlet through a transformer or similar device.
• CAT II: Primary electrical circuits of equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord.
• CAT III: Primary electrical circuits of the equipment connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders
from the distribution panel to outlets.
• CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power meter and primary over
current protection device (distribution panel).

2.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the function/range switch to the proper position before making a measurement. When the voltage is not known, it MUST be
determined that the capacity of the selected range will handle the amount of voltage in the circuit (see #3 under “For Your Safety”).
2. Avoid placing the meter in areas where vibration, dust or dirt are present. Do not store the meter in excessively hot,
humid or damp places. This meter is a sensitive measuring device and should be treated with the same regard as other electrical
and electronic devices.
3. When the meter is not in use keep the meter turned off to keep the battery from discharging.
4. When disconnecting the test leads from the unit, always grasp the leads where the input jacks meet the tester housing. Do not pull
the leads out of the jacks by the insulated wire or transport the tester using the test leads as a carrying strap.
5. Do not immerse the meter in water or solvents.
To clean the housing use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap.
NOTE: With any measurement made by this meter, there will be some fluctuation of the digital display.
This is due to the meter’s sampling method. This unit samples at a rate of 2 times per second, thus the fluctuation of the readout.
