WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user. -

4) OPERATION CAUTION: Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. AutoCheck mode This innovative AutoCheck feature automatically selects measurement function of , DCV, or Resistance (Ω Ω Ω Ω ) based on the input via test leads. ●With no input, the meter displays “Auto”... - Page 6 to step through the ranges or functions. *As Hazardous-Alert: When making resistance measurements in AutoCheck mode, an unexpected display of voltage readings alerts you that the object under test is being energized. *Ghost-voltage Buster: Ghost-voltages are unwanted stray signals coupled from adjacent hard signals, which confuse common multimeter voltage measurements.

- Page 8 CAUTION (Application and removal of the Clamp-on meter) For non-invasive current measurements, press the jaw trigger and clamp the jaws around conductor(s) of only one single pole of a circuit for load current measurement. Make sure the jaws are completely closed, or else it will introduce measurement errors. Enclosing conductor(s) of more than one pole of a circuit may result in differential current (like identifying leakage current) measurement.
