• 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.
• Always ensure the meter, test leads and all accessories meet or exceed
the measurement category required in the working environment. (i.e.
CAT rating)
• 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 to the meter.
• Remove the test leads from the input jacks before measuring current.
• Replace battery as soon as battery indicator
false readings.
