Safety
1. NEVER exceed the specified voltage/current maximum
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 mode. Doing so can damage the meter.
5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when measuring.
6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the back to replace the fuse or batteries.
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery/fuse door are in place and fastened securely.
