a.

The test leads are damaged in any way.

b.

The battery is low.

c.

Near any explosive gasses or fumes.

d.

Any abnormal operation is detected.

(If in doubt about the condition of the meter, have it serviced.)

e.

19.

People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using
this product.

  Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker

could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

20.

Do not test voltage on circuits higher than 500 volts.  Do not test current
on DC circuits higher than .5 amps or on AC circuits at all.

21.

The included Anti-static Wrist Strap (5) is intended solely to help mini-
mize static shock damage to sensitive electronics.  THE WRIST STRAP IS
NOT  DESIGNED TO  PROTECT THE  USER  FROM  ELECTRIC  SHOCK.

22.

Never apply flame to the heat shrink tubing.  

The heat shrink tubing is de-

signed specifically for use with a heat gun (not included) and may get damaged,
or allow the insulation beneath to be damaged, if a direct flame is applied.

CAUTION

1.

Prior to testing capacitors, resistance, diodes, or continuity; disconnect all power
to the circuit and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.

2.

Use the proper settings, terminals, techniques, and range for the tests per-
formed.  Always start with the range stated in the instructions.

3.

Be careful not to apply voltage to the Test Leads (15) when the meter is in an
ohms testing position.  Damage can occur to the multimeter.
