voltage over AC600V exists.
Do not attempt to make measurement in the

presence of flammable gasses. Otherwise, the
use of the instrument may cause sparking,
which can lead to an explosion.
Transformer jaw tips are designed not to short
●
the circuit under test. If equipment under test
has exposed conductive parts, however, extra
precaution should be taken to minimize the
possibility of shorting.
Never attempt to use the instrument if its
●
surface or your hand is wet.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of
●
any measuring range.
Never open the Battery cover during a
●
measurement.
The instrument is to be used only in its intended
●
applications or conditions. Otherwise, safety
functions equipped with the instrument doesn
work, and instrument damage or serious personal
injury may be caused.
Never attempt to make measurement if any
●
abnormal conditions, such as broken case
and exposed metal parts are found on the
instrument.
Do not rotate the Function Switch while the
●
test leads are being connected.
Do not install substitute parts or make any
●
modification to the instrument. For repair or
re-calibration, return the instrument to your
local distributor from where it was purchased.
Do not try to replace the batteries if the

object under test and power off the instrument
before opening the Battery Cover for Battery
replacement.

4. Preparation for measurement
4-1. Checking Battery Voltage
Set the Function Switch to any position other than
"
" . When the display is clear without "
OFF
showing, battery voltage is enough. When the display
is blank or
"
" mark is indicated, replace the
BATT
batteries according to Section 7, Battery Replacement.
The Sleep feature automatically powers the
instrument off in about 15 min after the last
switch or key operation. Therefore, the display
may be blank even with the Function Switch set
to a position other than "
instrument in this case, turn the switch back to
the "
" position, then to any other position,
OFF
or press any key. Replace the batteries if nothing
was displayed after above operations.
4-2. Checking Switch Setting & Operation
Confirm the Function Switch is set to the correct
position, the instrument is set to the correct
/ 5 sec
measurement mode,
and the Data hold function is disabled. Otherwise,
desired measurement cannot be made.

position before starting measurement.
Firmly insert the test leads.

Disconnect the test leads from the instrument
●
for current measurement.
Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun,
●
high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
Altitude 2000m or less. Appropriate operating

away from dust and water.
Be sure to power off the instrument after use.
●
When the instrument will not be in use for a
long period, place it in storage after removing
the batteries.
DANGER
Use a cloth dipped in water or neutral
●
detergent for cleaning the instrument. Do not
use abrasives or solvents.
Measurement categories
To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments,
IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various
electrical environments, categorized as CAT.I to
CAT.IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-
numbered categories correspond to electrical
environments with greater momentary energy,
so a measuring instrument designed for CAT.III
environments can endure greater momentary energy
than one designed for CAT.II.

CAT.Ⅰ
AC electrical outlet through a transformer or
similar device.
