TERMS IN THIS MANUAL
A
Warning
identifies conditions and actions that could pose serious hazards to the
user. A
Caution
identifies conditions and actions that could cause damage the
meter or the equipment under test.
Warning
Do not expose the meter to rain or moisture in order to reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock. To avoid any electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety
precautions when working with voltages above 60 V dc or 30V ac rms, these
voltage lev els pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Inspect tes t leads,
connectors and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the
meter. If any defects are found, replace them immediately. Do not touch test lead
tips or the circuit being tested while power is applied to the circuit under test.
Alway s keep your fingers behind the finger guards of the test leads during
measurement. Do not measure any circuit that draws more than the protection
fuse’s current rating. Do not attempt the protection fuse’s voltage rating. Never
attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead inserted into the mA µA or A
input terminal. When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door. Do not operate
the meter with the battery door removed or loosened. To avoid false readings,
which could result in possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery
as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Avoid working alone.
Caution
Dis connect the tes t l eads from the test points before changing functions .
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, capacitance or diodes. Always set the meter to the highest
range and work downward for an unknown value in the manual ranging mode.
Before measuring current, check the meter’s fuses and turn power OFF to the
circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
