SAFETY PRECAUTIONS/
Do not operate this multimeter before reading this manual in
its entirety. The following guidelines must be followed to avoid
accidents that can result in electric shock or personal injury.
Pay close attention to
and rear of the meter's case. These warnings, as well as all
warnings and precautions used through out this manual,
must be followed to avoid electric shock and/or personal
injury.
The RESPONSIBLE PARTY shall be made aware that, if
the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
Before using any of the functions on this meter, verify its
proper operation on a known similar function source where
the unit value is also known. Take corrective action based
on the indicated results.
To prevent electrical shock and/or damage to the tester or the
equipment under test, observe the following safety precautions:
DO NOT apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
the meter, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
Use caution when working above 30V AC rms, 42 V peak,
or 60 V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
To avoid false readings that could lead to possible electric
shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as
the low battery indicator
Always inspect the multimeter, test leads and any other
accessories for damage prior to every use. If any damage
is found, do not use tester until repairs are done.
Always consider electrical and electronic equipment to be

insulating mats to cover all exposed/grounded metal. Stand
on rubber mats and wear dry clothing.
Never take resistance measurements on energized (live)
electrical or electronic equipment.
Use one hand, instead of two, whenever possible to take
measurements. If two hands must be used, use extreme
caution not to contact any energized conductors with your
hands. Be certain test leads are dry and clean.
