Do not place magnet inside Category IV panel.
Place it outside the panel instead.

CAUTION
To protect yourself, think “Safety First”:
•
Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock
hazard so use caution.
•
Use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as safety glasses, face shields, insulating
gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
Before each use:
•
Perform a continuity test by touching the test
leads together to verify the functionality of the
battery and test leads.
•
Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter
operation by measuring a known voltage. (2)
Apply meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to
the known live voltage again to ensure proper
operation.
•
Use the proper terminals, functions and range for
your measurements.
•
Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements.
•
Connect the black common lead to ground
or neutral before applying the red test lead to
potential voltage. Disconnect the red test lead
from the voltage first.
•
Always work with a partner.
•
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
All voltage tests:
All voltage ranges will
withstand up to 1000VDC/750VAC rms. Do not
apply more than 1000VDC or 750VAC rms.
Symbols used:
Caution, risk of electric shock

WARNINGS
DISCONNECT AND UNPLUG TEST LEADS before opening case.
TEST NCV FUNCTION ON KNOWN LIVE WIRE before using.
DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE greater than 30VAC/VDC to the
thermocouple or the jacks when the rotary dial is on °F°C. (Use
only Type K thermocouples)
DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO THE JACKS when the rotary dial is on
microamps. Even low voltages can cause a current overload and
potentially harm the meter.
