1. Safety Information
To ensure safe operation, and in order to exploit to
the full the functionality of the meter, please
follow the directions in this section carefully.
Warning
1.1 Preliminary
1.2 During Use
1.15 Full compliance with safety standards can be
guaranteed only if used with test leads supplied.
If necessary, they must be replaced with the same
model or same electric ratings.
1.2.1 Before using, you must select the right input jack,
function and range.
1.2.2 Never exceed the protection limit values indicated
in specifications for each range of measurement.
1.2.3 When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit,
do not touch unused terminals.
1.2.4 At the manual range, when the value scale to be
measured is unknown beforehand, set the range
selector at the highest position.
1.2.5 Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the
terminals exceeds 600V above earth ground.
1.2.6 Always be careful when working with voltages
above 60V DC or 30V AC rms, keep fingers behind
the probe barriers while measuring.
1.2.7 Never connect the meter leads across a voltage
source while the transform switch is in the current,
resistance, temperature, diode or continuity mode.
Doing so can damage the meter.
1.2.8 Before rotating the transform switch to change
functions and ranges, disconnect test leads from
the circuit under test.
1.2.9 Never perform resistance, temperature, diode and
continuity measurements on live circuits.
1.2.10 Never use the meter under the condition of the
explosive air, steam or dirt.
1.2.11 If any faults or abnormalities are observed, the meter
can not be used any more and it has to be
checked out.
This instrument has been designed according to IEC-1010
concerning electronic measuring instruments with an
overvoltage category CAT III 600V and pollution 2.
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure that the
meter is used safely and is kept in good operating condition.
With proper use and care, the digital meter will give you
years of satisfactory service.
1.1.1 When using the meter, the user must observe all
normal safety rules concerning:
Protection against the dangers of electrical
current
Protection of the meter against misuse
1.1.2 When the meter is delivered, check that it has not been
damaged in transit.
1.1.3 When poor condition under harsh preservation or
shipping conditions caused, inspect and confirm
this meter without damage.
1.1.4 Test leads must be in good condition. Before using,
verify that the insulation of test leads is not damaged
and the leads metal wire core
is not exposed.

1.2.12 Never use the meter unless the rear case is in
place and fastened fully.
1.2.13 Please do not store or use meter in areas exposed to
direct sunlight, high temperature,
humidity or
condensation.
