SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be
operated with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully
followed for safe operation.
1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum:
Input Protection Limits
Function Maximum Input
V DC or V AC 600V AC and DC
mA AC/DC 200mA DC/AC
A AC/DC 10A DC/AC (for 30 seconds max.
every 15 minutes)
Resistance, Diode Test,
Continuity
250V DC/AC
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds
600V above earth ground.
4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function
switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage
the meter.
5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the
power when making resistance or diode tests.
6. ALWAYS turn off power and disconnect test leads before opening the
covers to replace the fuse or battery.
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse
covers are in place and fastened securely.
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
