Input warning
To avoid circuit damage and possibly blowing the multimeter's current fuse,
CAUTION
do not place the probes across (in parallel with) a powered circuit when a
lead is plugged into a current terminal. This causes a short circuit because
the resistance through the multimeter's current terminals is very low.
The multimeter emits a continuous beep and the red LED indicator lights up when
the test lead is inserted into the
not set to the correct current position. The secondary display will show
5 seconds even if the test lead is not removed.
