INTRODUCTION
2-2, This section describes
how
to
set
up and make
measurements
with
your
Multimeter.
Even
though you
may
have used a multimeter
before,
we recommend
that
you
read
the entire section carefully so
that
you
can
use
all
of the features
of your Multimeter.

SETTING UP
YOUR
INSTRUMENT
2-4,
Unpacking
2-5.
Your
Multimeter
is
shipped
in
a
special protective
container that
should
prevent
damage
to the
instrument
during shipping.
Check
the shipping order
against the
contents of the container
and
report
any damage
or short
shipment to the place of purchase or the nearest Fluke
Technical Service Center.
A
list
of these service centers
is
located
in
Section
5.
The
container should include
the
following:
•
The 8010A
or
8012A
Multimeter
•
Two
test
leads (one red
and one
black)
•
Line
power
cord
•
The 8010A/8012A
Instruction
Manual
2-6.
If
reshipment of
the instrument
is
necessary, please
use the
original
shipping
container.
If
the original
container
is
not
available, be sure that adequate
protection
is
provided
to
prevent
damage
during
shipment.
We
recommend
that the instrument be
surrounded by
at least three inches of
shock-absorbing
material
on
all
sides of the container.
2-7.
Remove
the
Multimeter from
its
container
and
place
it
in
a convenient
location.
The
carrying handle
on
the
meter can be used
as
a prop-stand
or
positioned out of
the
way
(behind
the Multimeter).
To
position the handle,
pull
outward
on
the
hubs
of the
handle and
rotate the
handle
into position.

a
decal attached to the
bottom
of the
instrument. Refer
to Section 4 for the procedure
to
change the ac
line voltage
setting. If
your Multimeter has
the - 01 Battery Option,
refer to Section 6 for information
on
changing
ac
line voltages.
CAUTION
Do
not
connect
the
power
cable

configuration
of
the instrument.
