SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
Input Limits
Function
V DC, V AC, Frequency, Duty Cycle
A AC, A DC
Resistance
Capacitance
Temperature
Diode test
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input
jack exceeds 240V above earth ground
4. DO NOT measure current of circuits whose voltage is greater
than 240V above earth ground
5. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source
while the function switch is in the resistance or diode mode.
Doing so can damage the meter
6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads
before opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover is in place
and fastened securely
