4. Visually inspect leads for damage before using. Replace if
insulation is damaged or leads appear suspect.
5. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures etc.
Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry cloth-
ing, rubber shoes, mats, or any other approved insulating
material. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the

expected value. If display reads "OL" (overrange), select a
higher range. If display shows less than three numbers, select
a lower range for better resolution.

Accuracy Specifications

Accuracy specifications are based on nominal operating tem-
perature of 74°F ±8°, and a relative humidity less than 75%.
Accuracy is specified as ± (% of reading + number of least
significant digits).
