for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or
replace any damage before use.
5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.
6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages
are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are
considered a shock hazard.
7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the
device under test before performing Capacitance, Diode,
Resistance or Continuity tests.
8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be
stored for long periods.
9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any
circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V AC.
10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and
misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the
electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure
that the terminals are not "live".
