3.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.
3-1.NEVER
apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:
Function
V DC or V AC
mA AC/DC
A AC/DC
Frequency, Resistance, Capacitance,
Duty Cycle, Diode Test, Continuity
Temperature
Surge Protection: 8kV peak per IEC 61010
3- .USE EXTREME CAUTION
2
3- .DO NOT
3
measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 1000V above
earth ground.
3- .NEVER
4
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.
3- .ALWAYS
5
discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when
making resistance or diode tests.
3- .ALWAYS
6
turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to
replace the fuse or batteries.
