•
The test leads supplied with your meter are rated for 1000 �olts. Use only test
leads of the same rating with the meter. You can order replacement leads
from your local
RadioShack
store.
•
Do not use a fuse brand or rating other than those specified here. Doing so
might damage your meter.
•
Because many AC/DC sets ha�e a potentially hot chassis, be sure the top
of your workbench and the floor underneath it are made of non-conductive
materials.
• Your multimeter is designed primarily to measure household AC �oltages.
Because of the dangers inherent in measuring three-phase circuits, we
