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 to the meter that exceeds the specified

maximum:

Input Limits

Function Maximum Input

V DC or V AC 600V DC/AC,

250Vrms on 200mV range
Resistance, Diode Test,
Continuity

2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages

3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input
jack exceeds 600V above earth ground

4. Always use caution when working with voltages above
60VDC or 30VACrms. Keep fingers behind probe barrier
when taking measurements.

250Vrms DC/AC

5. When taking non-contact voltage measurements ensure that
the positive test lead is NOT exposed and that the negative
(common) test lead is not connected to the bottom of the
meter.

6. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source
while the function switch is in the resistance or diode mode.
Doing so can damage the meter

7. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads
before opening the cover to replace the battery

8. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover is 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.

MAX
600V

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)
600 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.
