1.Introduction

Make sure to read and follow all safety procedures to
avoid electric shock and/or injury. If the equipment
is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.

WARNING

The met er is a saf e, reliable, yet small ha ndhel d 3 ½
digital clamp me ter. Capable of measuring AC curren t,
AC/DC voltage, r esist ance and continuity, it’s ideal for
both home users an d profe ssionals.

3. Ensure the mete r works p roperly by testing a know n
voltage first. I f not wor king properly, have th e meter
serviced befor e using .

4. Never exceed th e prote ction limit values indi cated
in the specifica tions f or each range of measurem ent.

5. Always use cauti on when making voltage
measurements a bove 60 V dc or 30V ac rms.

6. Make sure to use th e corre ct input jack, function a nd
range when measu ring.

7. Do not place the me ter in an y environment with dust ,
explosive gas or v apor.

8. Always keep fing ers behind the probe barriers.

9. Connect the com mon tes t lead first, then the hot le ad.
Disconnect in re verse o rder.

10. Turn off power and discharge capacit ors bef ore
measuring resi stanc e, diodes or continuity.

11. Fail ure to fo llow safety guideline s may pre vent the
meter’s built in protecti on from w orking properly.

12. To avoid d amage o r incorrect readings, c heck fo r AC
voltage presen t befor e making DC voltage
measurements .

13. Do not use the met er with t he battery cover not
securely in plac e.

14. When the “ ”symb ol appe ars, replace the batter ies
to avoid incorre ct read ings

15. Before openi ng the case, always disconnect t est
leads from all ene rgize d circuits.

16. Only use the tes t leads p rovided with the meter.
Replace only wit h simil ar leads with matching
specificatio ns.

17. Do not touch inp ut jack s during measurement to
avoid electric s hock.

18. Before switc hing fu nctions, remove test le ads fro m
an circuit.
