UT131 Palm Size Multimeter When measuring the voltage higher than 60 VDC or 30 VACrms, keep your fingers behind the finger guard on the test lead in order to prevent electric shock. If the range of the voltage to be measured is unknown, the maximum range should be selected and then gradually decreased.
