SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated
with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for
safe operation.
1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the
specified maximum:
Input Limits
Function Maximum Input
VAC 600V DC/AC
V DC or V
AC
600V DC/AC, 200Vrms on 200mV range
mA DC 200mA 250V fast acting fuse
A DC 10A 250V fast acting fuse
(30 seconds max every 15 minutes)
Resistance,
Continuity
250Vrms for 15sec max
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input
jack exceeds 500V above earth ground.
4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while
3
the function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode.
Doing so can damage the meter.
5. ALW AYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and
disconnect the power when making resistance or diode tests.
6. ALW AYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads
before opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries.
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the
battery and fuse doors are in place and fastened securely.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
This symbol adjacent to another symbol,
terminal or operating device indicates that the
operator must refer to an explanation in the
Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury
or damage to the meter.
This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially
hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially
hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may

result damage to the product.
This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s)
so marked must not be connected to a circuit
point at which the voltage with respect to earth
ground exceeds (in this case) 500 VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals
identifies them as being associated with ranges
that may, in normal use, be subjected to
particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum
safety, the meter and its test leads should not
be handled when these terminals are
energized.
This symbol indicates that a device is protected
throughout by double insulation or reinforced
insulation.
