during the operation at this meter:
• Measurements beyond the maximum selected range must not be attempted.
• Extreme care must be taken when measuring above 50 V, especially on live bus-bars.
• To measure voltage, the instrument must not be switched to a current or resistance
range, or to the diode check or buzzer position.
• Circuits must be de-energised and isolated before carrying out resistance tests.
• The rotary selector switch must only be turned after removing test connections.
• All external voltages must be disconnected from the instrument before removing the
battery.
• Test leads and prods must be in good order, clean, and with no broken or cracked
insulation.
