1. General Information: This digital multimeter is designed and manufactured in compliance with IEC-61010 safety requirements on electronic measuring instruments and hand-held digital multimeter. It is compliant with IEC-61010 requirements pertaining to CAT IV 600V, CAT III 1000V and requirements on pollution degree 2.
For all DC measuring functions, to prevent the incorrect reading resulting in potential electric shock, please use AC functions first to check any presence of AC voltage, then switch to DC voltage measuring range equivalent to or greater than the value of AC voltage.
1.1.4 Safety Maintenance Instructions: Please unplug the test lead before dismantling the meter or removing the battery case cover. Use the designated components while repairing the meter. Before opening the meter, please make sure to cut off the power and the user is not carrying any static.

Notes: In the measurement of DC 600mV and AC 6V, if there is reading existing without connection to the test leads. In this case, reset the meter to zero. Within the AC voltage function, press "Select" to measure the frequency of the AC voltage.
3.2.4 Electric Resistance Measurement: To avoid any electric shock and/or damage to the meter, do not attempt a resistance measurement before cutting off the power of the circuit and discharging all the electricity. Ohm is the unit of electric resistance (). ...
3.2.6 Beep Continuity Test: To avoid any electric shock and/or damage to the meter, do not attempt a beep continuity test before cutting off the power of the circuit and discharging all the electricity. Turn the switch to the position ...
reach 300˚C. 3.2.9 hFE Measurement: To avoid any electric shock and/or damage to the meter, do not attempt the hFE test if the voltage is over DC & AC 36V. Turn the switch to the position hFE. Check the transistor is NPN or PNP type first, then plug in the emitter, base and collector separately to the correct hole, the approximate value will be showed on LCD.
