SAFETY PRECAUTIONS/
WARNINGS
•
This Digital Multimeter is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY.
•
Pay close attention to
WARNINGS stamped on the front and rear of the
meter's case. These warnings, as well as all warnings and precautions used
through out this manual, must be followed to avoid electric shock and/or per-
sonal injury.
•
The RESPONSIBLE PARTY shall be made aware that, if the equipment is
used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
To prevent electrical shock and/or damage to the tester or the equipment under
test, observe the following safety precautions:
•
DO NOT apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter,
between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Use caution when working above 30V AC rms, 42 V peak, or 60 V DC. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
•
To avoid false readings that could lead to possible electric shock or personal
injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator
displays.
•
Use ONLY those test leads or probes provided with the meter. DO NOT use third-
party test leads or probes.
•
Always inspect the multimeter, test leads and any other accessories for dam-
age prior to every use. If any damage is found, do not use tester until repairs
are done.
•
Always consider electrical and electronic equipment to be ener-gized (live).
Never assume any equipment is de-energized.
•
Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Isolate yourself
from ground by using dry rubber insulating mats to cover all exposed/ground-
ed metal. Stand on rubber mats and wear dry clothing.

WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock, instrument damage and/or equipment
damage, DO NOT attempt to measure voltages ABOVE 500V AC/DC or
take measurements if the voltage is unknown. 500V AC/DC between the
COM and V jacks is the maximum voltage that this instrument is
designed to measure. The "COM" terminal potential should not exceed
300V AC/DC measured to ground.
