•
•
•
Before opening the case, always disconnect test leads
from all energized circuits.
For continue protection against fire; replace fuse only
with the specified voltage
F 200mA/250V(Quick Acting)
Never use the meter unless the bac k cover is in place
and fastened completely.
Do not use abrasiv
es or solvents on the meter. Clean
using a damp cloth and mild detergent only.

DURING USE
•

•
•
Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in
specifications for each range of m eas ur em ent .
When the meter is linked t o measurement c ircuit, do not
touch unused terminals.
Never use the meter to measure voltages that might
exceed 600V above earth ground in category Ⅱ
installations.
When the value scale to be measured is unknown, set
the range selector at the highest pos it io n.
Before rotating the range selector t o change functions,
disconnect test leads from t h e c irc uit u nder te s t .
When carrying out measurement s on a TV or switching
power circuits, always remember that t here may be high
amplitude voltage pulses at test points, which can
damage the meter.
Always is careful when working with voltages abov e 60V
dc or 30V ac rms. Keep fingers behind the probe barriers
while measuring.
Before attempting to insert trans istors for tes ting, always
be sure that test leads have been disconnected from any
measurement circuits.
Components should not be connected to the hFE socket
when making voltage measurements with test leads.
Never perform resistance meas ur em ent s on li ve circuits.

BATTERY & FUSE REPLACEMENT
If “
”appears on display, it indicates that the battery
should be replaced.
Fuse rarely needs replacement and usually blows as a result of
operator’s error.
To replace battery & fuse (200mA/250V) rem ove the 2 screws
in the bottom of the case. Simply remove the old battery, and
replace with a new one.
Be careful to observe battery polarit y.
WARNING
Before attempting to open the case, a lways be sure that tes t
leads have been disconnected fro m m eas urem e nt c irc uits.
Close case and tighten screws completely before using the
meter to avoid electrical s hoc k hazard.
