Users Manual
Ensure the battery door is closed and
latched whenever operating the Meter.
Replace the battery as soon as the
battery indicator (M) appears. See
"Replacing the Battery" section for
instructions and a list of approved
batteries.
Remove test leads from the Meter before
opening the battery door.
Inspect the test leads for damaged
insulation or exposed metal. Check the
test leads for continuity. Replace
damaged leads before using the Meter.
Do not apply more than the rated
voltage, as marked on the Meter,
between the terminals or between any
terminal and earth ground.
Use caution when working with voltages
above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V
dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
Use only the replacement fuses specified
in this Users Manual. See "Replacing the

Use the proper terminals, function, and
range for measurements.

When measuring current, turn off circuit
power before connecting the Meter to the
circuit. Remember to place the Meter in
series with the circuit.
When making electrical connections,
connect the common test lead before
connecting the live test lead; when
disconnecting, disconnect the live test
lead before disconnecting the common
test lead.
Do not use the Meter if it operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired.
When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
Use only a single 9 volt battery, properly
installed in the Meter case, to power the
Meter. See "Replacing the Battery"
section for instructions and a list of
approved batteries.
Only use replacement parts listed in the
"Parts" section of this manual. Return
the Meter to the manufacturer for all
other service needs.
