    Autoranging Digital Multimeter 4.Operation WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. • Always turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use, this meter has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the meter OFF if 15 minutes elapse between uses.
  • Page 9: 4-2.Ac Voltage Measurement

    Autoranging Digital Multimeter 4-2.AC Voltage Measurement WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.

    Autoranging Digital Multimeter 4-3.DC Current Measurement WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.
