WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

• Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring
a known voltage or current.

• Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the category based
rating of this meter.

• Do not use the meter during electrical storms, or in wet weather.

• Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.

• Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep fingers away from

the metal probe contacts when making measurements.

• Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes

®

are connected.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 60V DC,
or 25V AC RMS. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock,
replace batteries if a low battery indicator appears.

• Unless measuring voltage or current, shut off and lock out
power before measuring resistance or capacitance.

• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use individual protective
equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
