WARNING!
1.DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THESE RATINGS:
-Voltage is not to exceed 600V AC or DC.
-Resistance, Capacitance, Logic, and Continuity functions are not to be performed on circuits capable of delivering greater than 500V AC or DC.
-Current measurements are not to be performed on circuits capable of delivering greater than 600V AC on insulated conductors, 250V AC on uninsulated conductors.
2.To avoid electrical shock hazards and/or damage to the meter:
-Do not exceed the voltage ratings for the meter. Use caution when measuring voltage.
-Do not use during electrical storms. AC power sources with inductive loads or electrical storms may result in high voltage. High energy transients can damage meter and present a dangerous shock hazard.
-Turn off the power to the circuit or device being measured before taking resistance and capacitance measurements. Fully discharge all capacitors before measuring.
3.Ensure meter is in proper working order before using. Visually inspect meter for damage. Performing a continuity check can verify proper operation. If the meter reading goes from overload to zero, this typically means the meter is in proper working order.
4.Visually inspect leads for damage before using. Replace if insulation is damaged or leads appear suspect.
5.Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any other approved insulating material. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. Work with others.
6.Before beginning all unknown measurements, set meter to the highest range possible.

WARNING! (cont.)
7.Before breaking a circuit for testing, turn off the power to the circuit. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect the hot lead first, then the common lead.
8.Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning off any indicator, including motors, transformers,and solenoids.

To Measure Resistance:
Resistance is measured in Ohms.
1.Turn the power off to the circuit or device that is to be measured and discharge all capacitors before attempting a measurement.
2.Plug the red test lead into the “V-Ω” meter input.
3.Plug the black test lead into the “Com” meter input.
4.Select the proper range within the Ω function of the tester.
