Rules For Safe Operation (1)

Warning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test, adhere to the following rules:

Before using the Meter inspect the case.  Do not

      use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (or part
      of the case) is removed.  Look for cracks or missing
      plastic.  Pay attention to the insulation around the
      connectors.

Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or

      exposed metal.  Check the test leads for continuity.
      Replace damaged test leads with identical model
      number or electrical specifications before using
      the Meter.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as

       marked on the Meter, between the terminals or
       between any terminal and grounding.

The rotary switch should be placed in the right

       position and no any changeover of range shall
       be made during measurement is conducted to
       prevent damage of the Meter.

When the Meter working at an effective voltage

       over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special care
       should be taken for there is danger of electric
       shock.

Use the proper terminals, function, and range for

       your measurements.

If the value to be measured is unknown, use the

       maximum measurement position and reduce the
       range stop by step until a satisfactory reading is
       obtained.

Do not use or store the Meter in an environment

       of high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable
       and strong magnetic field.  The performance of
       the Meter may deteriorate after dampened.
