WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE USE OF THIS DEVICE.

Improper use of this device can result in injury or death. Follow all safeguards suggested in this manual. In addition to the normal safety precautions used in working with electrical circuits. DO NOT service this device if you are not qualified to do so.

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.

1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the

specified maximum:

Function Maximum Input VAC 600V DC/AC V DC or V AC 600V DC/AC, 200Vrms on 200mV range mA DC 200mA 250V fast acting fuse A DC 10A 250V fast acting fuse(30 seconds max

Resistance, Continuity 250Vrms for 15sec max

2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.

3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack

exceeds 500V above earth ground.

4. NEVER 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.

5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect

the power when making resistance or diode tests.

6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before

opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries.

7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and

fuse doors are in place and fastened securely.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to the meter.

WARNING

CAUTION

MAX 500V

This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may result damage to the product.

This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case) 500 VAC or VDC.

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its test leads should not be handled when these terminals are energized.

This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by double insulation or reinforced insulation.
