* Use the meter only as specified in
this manual; otherwise,the protection
provided by the meter may be
impaired.
* Use extreme caution when working
around bare conductors or bus bars.
* Do not operate the meter around
explosive gas,vapor, or dust.
* Verify a Meter's operation by
measuring a known voltage. Do
not use the Meter if it aparates
abnormally. Protection may be
impaired. When in doubt, have the
Meter serviced.
* Uses the proper terminals, function,
and range for your measurements.
* When the range of the value to be
measured is unknown, check that
the range initially set on the meter
is the highest possible or, whenever
possible, choose the autoranging
mode.
* To avoid damages to the
instrument, do not exceed the
maximum limits of the input values
shown in the technical specification
tables.
* When the multimeter is linked to
measurement circuits, do not touch
unused terminals.
* Caution when working with
voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
* When using the probas, keep your
fingers behind the finger guards.
* When making connections, connect
the common test lead before
connecting the live test lead: when

disconnecting, disconnect the live
test lead before disconnecting the
common test lead.
* Before changing functions,
disconnect the test leads from the
circuit under test.
* For all dc functions, including
manual or auto-ranging, to avoid
the risk of shock due to possible
improper reading, verify the
presence of any ac voltages by first
using the ac function. Then select a
dc voltage range equal to or greater
than the ac range.
* Disconnect circuits power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, continuity,
diodes,or capacitance.
* Never perform resistance or
continuity measurements on live
circuits.
* Before measuring current, check
the meter's fuse and turn off power
to the circuit before connecting the
meter to the circuit.
* In TV repair work, or when carrying
out measurements on power
switching circuits, remember that
high amplitude voltage pulses at
the test points can damage the
multimeter. Use of a TV filter will
attenuate any such pulses.
* Use the 9V NEDA battery, properly
installed in the Meter's battery case,
to power the Meter.
* Replace the battery as soon as
the battery indicator (
With a low battery, the Meter might

) appears.
