
operating properly. If in doubt, have the Tester serviced.
Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged

insulation and measure a known voltage.
Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.

Measure a known voltage to verify the operation of the Tester.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or between each

terminal and earth ground.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

Replace the battery when the low battery indicator shows (M) to prevent

incorrect measurements.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you

test resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet

environments.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the case open. Hazardous
