Getting Started Manual

• Use only specified 1.5-V AA batteries
(three in the Meter base and two in the
display), correctly installed, for Meter
power.
• Comply with local and national safety
requirements when in hazardous
locations.
• Only use test leads that have the same
voltage, category, and amperage ratings
as the Meter and that are approved by a
safety Agency.
• Measure a known voltage first to make
sure that the Meter operates correctly. If
you are unsure, have the Meter
examined.
• Use protective equipment, as directed by
local or national authorities when in
hazardous work areas.
• Measure the test leads for continuity
before use. Do not use if the resistance
is high or noisy.
• Use only specified replacement parts in
the Meter.
• Keep fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes.
W Caution
To prevent damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test, follow these
guidelines:
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before you do
diode tests or measure resistance,
continuity, or capacitance.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and
range for all measurements.
• Before a current measurement, do the
fuse test.
