 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 200mV range 

250V DC or AC 

V DC/V AC >200mV ranges 

1000V DC or 700V AC 

mA DC/AC 

200mA DC/AC 

20A DC/AC 

20A DC/AC (30 seconds max every 15 
minutes) 

Frequency, Resistance, 
Capacitance, Diode test, 
Continuity, Temperature 

250V DC/AC 

2. 

USE EXTREME CAUTION

 when working with high voltages. 

3. 

DO NOT

 measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack 

exceeds 500V above earth ground. 

4. 

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. 

5. 

ALWAYS

 discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect 

the power when making resistance or diode tests. 

6. 

ALWAYS

 turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before 

opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries. 

7. 

NEVER

 operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and 

fuse doors are in place and fastened securely.
