Safety Precautions

1. Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death.

Read and understand this users manual before operating the meter.

2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and

secured.

3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself 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.
