1. Safety Information
To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow all of the safety and
operation instructions in this manual. If the meter is not used as
described in the manual, the safety features of the meter might be
impaired.
• Do not use the meter if the meter or the test leads look damaged,
or if you suspect that the meter is not operating properly.
• Turn off the power to the circuit under test before cutting,
unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current
can be dangerous.
• Use caution when working above 60VDC or 30VAC rms. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
• When using the test lead, keep your fingers behind the guards on
the test lead.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common
test lead.
• Check the main function dial and make sure it is at the correct
position before each measurement.
• Do not perform resistance, capacitance, temperature, diode and
continuity test on a live power system.
• Do not apply voltage between the test terminals and test terminal
to ground that exceed the maximum limit record in this manual.
• Keep the fingers after the protection ring when measuring
through the clamp.
• Change the battery when the “ ” symbol appears to avoid
incorrect data.
• Use the DMM indoor, altitude up to 6,562 ft. (2,000m) and
temperatures between 41
O
F and 104
O
F (5
O
C - 40
O
C). Maximum
relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 88
O
F (31
O
C),
decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 104
O
F (40
O
C).
• In locations subject to radio frequency interface, the product may
malfunction. It will reset automatically when leaving that
environment.
