Warning
To prevent electricalshockor fire!
Before measurement, make sure that the test leads and function switch has been set properly.
Before switching among functions, remove the test leads off the measured object.
Before measurement, make sure the circuit current of object won't exceed the maximum measurement range.
Do not use this meter if any crack or damage occurred in the case or test leads.
Do not open the case of meter or the battery lib during measurement.
Please keep your hands behind the guard ring of test leads while measuring with test leads.
Please keep your hands below the guard ring of the meter while measuring with sensoring jaw.
Before proceeding resistance measurement, turn off the power to the circuit under test first.
Never use the meter in rainy or humid environment or with wet hands.
Before proceeding current measurement, make sure to remove the test leads from the input terminals.

Warning
Caution
To prevent damage to the meter or electrical shock!
According to the safety standard, the maximum voltage input power is classified as follows to protect the users against transient impulse voltage in power lines.
Over-voltage Category (CAT.) Maximum input voltage
Do not use the meter near equipment emitting noise or under an environment with sudden temperature change; otherwise, unstable or erroneous reading will appear.
Take the batteries out of the meter if it will be left idle for a long time.
After measurement, switch the function knob back to
OFF position. As there will be slight power consumption
under auto power offmode. Please position the conductor in the center of jaw in
order to ensure the accuracy of measurement while measuring current.
Please make sure to keep out of high current to ensure the accuracy of measurement while measuring current.
Do not use organic solvent to clean the meter but with a soft cloth if necessary.
Do not expose the meter under direct sunshine or extreme temperature or in moisture places.
When the measurement values appear irregularly
or the symbol displays, replace the batteries immediately to ensure normal operation.
