● Read the user manual before operating and follow all
safety information. Only use the meter as specified in
this user manual.
● Never use this meter on a circuit with voltages greater
than 600Vrms @ 50/60 Hz, Cat. III or 1000V, Cat. II.
● Never measure current while the test leads are con-
nected to the input jacks.
● Do not operate the meter if the body or test leads look
damaged.
● Do not perform resistance and continuity test on a live
circuit.
● Use extreme caution when measuring live systems with
voltages greater than 60VDC or 30VAC.
● Use extreme care when working around bus bars and
bare conductors.
● Do not use the meter in overrange/overload conditions
(OL).
● For accurate readings, change the battery when the
symbol appears.
