Caution
" statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•
Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might
be impaired.
•
Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating
properly.
•
Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
•
Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter
serviced.
•
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose
a shock hazard.
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
•
Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
•
When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
•
Only use test leads that have the same voltage, category, and amperage ratings as the meter
and that have been approved by a safety agency.
•
Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.
