Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating instructions carefully. Use the meter, test leads
and all accessories only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection
provided by the meter can 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
and jaws are not cracked.
• Inspect and replace test leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or
probes are cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the
connectors.
• To preserve the safety rating of this product, use only test leads with a minimum
rating of CAT III 600V. Do not use improvised connections that could present a safety
hazard.
• Note that the measurement category and voltage rating of combinations of
the meter, the test leads, and the accessories is the lowest of the individual
components.
• 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, vapor, amperage or in damp or wet
environments.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage or amperage.
• Remove the test leads from the input jacks before measuring current.
• Replace battery as soon as battery indicator appears to avoid false readings.
• Remove the test leads from the meter prior to removing battery cover.
• Do not use without the battery and battery cover properly installed.
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.
• Use the proper terminals, functions and range for your measurements.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to ground or neutral before applying the red test
lead to potential voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.
• Keep fingers behind the guard rings of the probe tips.
• Hold the clamp behind the tactile barrier.
