SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution.
The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe operation.
1. NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum:
Input Limits
Function
Maximum Input
V DC or V AC
1000V DC, 700V AC
mA DC/AC
200mA DC/AC
A DC/AC
20A DC/AC (30 seconds max every
15 min.)
Resistance, Capacitance,
Continuity, Diode
250V DC/AC rms
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
3.
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the
function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so
can damage the meter.
4.
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
5.
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before open-
ing the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
6.
NEVER
operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and
fuse covers are in place and fastened securely.
