Users Manual
Use only specified 1.5-V AA batteries
(three in the Meter base and two in the
display), correctly installed, for Meter
power.
Comply with local and national safety
requirements when in hazardous
locations.
Only use test leads that have the same
voltage, category, and amperage ratings
as the Meter and that are approved by a
safety Agency.
Measure a known voltage first to make
sure that the Meter operates correctly. If
you are unsure, have the Meter
examined.
Use protective equipment, as directed by
local or national authorities when in
hazardous work areas.
Measure the test leads for continuity
before use. Do not use if the resistance
is high or noisy.
Use only specified replacement parts in
the Meter.
Keep fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes.

To prevent damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test, follow these
guidelines:
Disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before you do
diode tests or measure resistance,
continuity, or capacitance.
Use the correct terminals, function, and
range for all measurements.
Before a current measurement, do the
fuse test.
