Getting Started
W Caution
To avoid possible damage to the Meter or the equipment
under test, follow these guidelines:
•
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high
voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
•
Use the proper terminals, function, and range for all
measurements.
•
Do not remove batteries while the Meter is turned on
or a signal is applied to the Meter's input jacks.
•
Before measuring current, check the Meter's fuses.
(See "Testing the Fuses" in the Users Manual on the
accompanying CD.)
•
Do not use the LoZ mode to measure voltages in
circuits that could be damaged by this mode's low
impedance (≈3 kΩ). (model 289 only)
