This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated
with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for
safe operation.
NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when working with high voltages.
DO NOT
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack
exceeds 1000V above earth ground.
NEVER
connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the
function switch is in the current, resistance or diode mode. Doing so
can damage the meter.
ALWAYS
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
ALWAYS
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before
opening the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
NEVER
operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and
fuse covers are in place and fastened securely.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
