understand this user manual before operating the meter.
 Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
 Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before
operating the meter.
 Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC
rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

 Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before
performing Diode, Resistance, or Continuity tests.
 Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the
uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should
be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".
