• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as
marked on the Meter, between the test probe or
between any test probe and earth ground.
• Use the Meter with caution for voltages above 30
Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose
electrical shock hazards.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before testing resistance.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind
the finger guards.
