CAUTIONS
•
Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or
death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the
meter.
•
Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
•
Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any
damage before operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage
before use.
•
Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are
greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered
a shock hazard.
•
Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long periods.
•
Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device
under test before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
•
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading
because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical
contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals
are not "live".
•
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
