This meter should be powered only by 4.
a single, correctly installed 9V battery.
Use caution when working near volt-5.
ages above 30 VAC rms, 42 VAC
peak, or 60 VDC. Voltages this high
present a risk of electric shock.
Disconnect the circuit’s power before 6.
connecting the meter in series, when
measuring current.
Connect the common (COM) test lead 7.
rst and disconnect it last.
Hold the probes with ngers behind 8.
guards.
Avoid electrical shock. Use 9.
extreme caution when working near
uninsulated conductors or bus bars.
Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and cabinet enclosures when
testing voltages.
Observe work area conditions. Do not 10.
test voltages in damp or wet locations.
Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area
clean and well lit.
Keep children away. Children must 11.
never be allowed in the work area.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, 12.
use common sense. Do not operate
any meter when you are tired.
Do not operate meter if under the 13.
inuence of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels on prescriptions to
determine if your judgment or reexes
are impaired while taking drugs. If
there is any doubt, do not operate the
meter.
Due to the danger inherent in such 14.
work, we strongly recommend that
only a licensed electrician work on
high-voltage or other potentially dangerous circuits.
This product contains or produces 15.
chemicals, including lead, known to
the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
(California Health & Safety Code §
25249.5, et seq.)
Do not test voltage on circuits higher 16.
than 750 volts AC or 1000 volts DC.
This type of testing should only be
done by a qualied electrician.
Do not test current on circuits higher 17.
than 200 mA.
Store idle equipment. When not in 18.
use, meters must be stored in a dry
location to decrease exposure to
moisture. Lock up meters and keep
out of reach of children.
Dress properly. Protective, electrically 19.
nonconductive clothes and nonskid
footwear are recommended when
working.

factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
Avoid damaging meter. Use only as 23.
specied in this manual.
Prior to testing, resistance, diodes, or 24.
continuity; disconnect all power to the
