Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

1. Electrical shock can cause death or injury! NEVER TOUCH exposed conductors of electricity.

2. Inspect the Multimeter before use. In addition to a general inspection, look specifically for:

a. Pay special attention to the insulation protecting the connectors.

b. Check the leads for exposed metal, damaged insulation, and continuity.

c. Replace damaged test lead immediately, before use.

3. Do not use the Multimeter if:

a. Either of the test leads are damaged in any way.

b. Test leads are dirty or have residue on them.

c. The battery is low.

d. Near any explosive

gasses or fumes.

e. Any abnormal operation is detected.

(If in doubt about the condition of the Meter, have it serviced before use).

4. Power this Meter using only the battery(ies) referenced in the Specifications Chart.

5. Use caution when working near voltages above 30 VAC rms, 42 VAC peak, or 60 VDC. Voltages this high present a risk of electric shock.

6. Disconnect the circuit's power before connecting the Meter in series, when measuring current.

7. Connect the common (COM) test lead first and disconnect it last.

8. Hold the probes with fingers behind guards.

9. Avoid electrical shock. Use extreme caution when working near uninsulated conductors or bus bars. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and cabinet enclosures when testing voltages.

10. Observe work area conditions. Do not test voltages in damp or wet locations. Don't expose to rain. Keep work area clean and well lit.

11. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area.

12. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any meter when you are tired.

13. Do not operate meter if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the meter.

14. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

15. Do not test voltage on circuits higher than 250 volts AC or 20 volts DC.

16. Do not test current on circuits higher than 5A.

17. Dress properly. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear are recommended when working.

18. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles during use.

19. Only use accessories intended for use with this meter.

20. Avoid damaging meter. Use only as specified in this manual.

21. Prior to testing, resistance, diodes, or continuity; disconnect all power to the circuit and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.

22. Performance of this meter may vary depending on battery condition.

23. Use the proper settings, terminals, techniques, and range for the tests performed. Start with the range stated in the instructions.

24. Do not apply voltage to the Test Leads when the Multimeter is in the Ohms testing setting. Damage can occur to the multimeter.

25. Do not switch between testing modes with the multimeter connected to a circuit.

26. Do not use the meter at a setting marked as blank on the scale.

27. Have the multimeter calibrated by a qualified technician every year to maintain accurate results.

28. The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

29. Store idle
