1.1.4 Instructions
* Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the battery cover.
* When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
* Before opening up the instrument, always disconnect from all sources of
electric current and make sure you are not charged with static electricity
* Any adjustment, maintenance or repair work carried out on the meter while
it is live should be carried out only by appropriately qualified personnel,
after having taken into account the instructions in this present manual.
* A "qualified person" is someone who is familiar with the installation,
construction and operation of the equipment and the hazards involved.
He is trained and authorized to energize and de-energize circuits and
equipment in accordance with established practices.
* When the instrument is opened up, remember that some internal
capacitors can retain a dangerous potential even after the instrument
is switched off.
* If any faults or abnormalities are observed, take the instrument out of
service and ensure that it cannot be used until it has been checked out.
* If the meter is not going to be used for a long time, take out the battery and
do not store the meter in high temperature or high humidity environment.
1.2 Protection mechanisms
* Fused by the fuse (FF400mA/1000V) during capacitance,temperature,
mA and hFE measurements.
* A PTC resistor protects against permanent over-voltages of up to 250V
during resistance, frequency, continuity and diode test measurements.

Indicator for ac voltage or current.
AC voltage and current are displayed as the average of
the absolute value of the input, calibrated to indicate the
equivalent rms value of a sine wave.
DC
Indicator for dc voltage or current
The Meter is in the Diode Test mode
The Meter is in the Continuity Check mode
The Meter is in the Data Hold mode
