WARNING
Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully.
Use the meter only as specified in this manual; other-
wise, the protection provided by the meter may be
impaired.
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death follow these guidelines:
• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to ensure
case is not cracked and back case is securely in place.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or
probes are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the
connectors.
• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.
• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.
• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing battery cap.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.
#61-605 CAUTION
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, face
RANGE HOLD shields, insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.
• Before each use:

AC/DC
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to ground before applying the red test lead to
voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.
• Always work with a partner.
• When using the probes, keep fingers as far behind the probe tips as possible.
Features:
• Auto/manual ranging meter
• Measures AC/DC Voltage and Resistance
• Audible continuity
• Diode Test
• Data hold
• Auto Power Off
• Low Battery Indicator
• Compact case with built-in test leads
• Electronic overload protection on all ranges
Perform a continuity test by touching the test leads together to verify the
functionality of the battery and test leads.
Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter operation by measuring a
known voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to the
known live voltage again to ensure proper operation.
