WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions.

Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

•

Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring

a known voltage or current.

•

Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the

category based rating of this meter.

•

Do not use the meter during electrical storms, or in wet weather.

•

Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.

•

Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep ﬁngers away from

the metal probe contacts when making measurements.

•

Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes

are connected.

•

Use caution when working with voltages above 60V DC,

or 25V AC RMS. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

•

To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock,

replace batteries if a low battery indicator appears.

•

Unless measuring voltage or current, shut off and lock out

power before measuring resistance or capacitance.

•

Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use individual

protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where

hazardous live conductors are exposed.
