 WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and abide by the following safety instructions.

1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

 When using this meter, please observe all normal safety rules concerning:
Protection against the dangers of electric current.
Protection of the meter against misuse.
 Full compliance with safety standards can only be guaranteed if used with the test leads supplied. If necessary, they must be replaced with
genuine Sealey leads with the same electronic ratings. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.

 DO NOT use leads if damaged or if the wire is bared in any way.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and hazards of the meter. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

.

 Before using the meter inspect the case. If you suspect any part of the case to be damaged or missing DO NOT USE THE METER.
Remove it from service immediately and contact your local Sealey dealer for advice/repairs.

 When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit, do not touch unused meter terminals.
 When the scale of the value to be measured is unknown set the selector to the highest range available.
 Before rotating the rotary switch to change functions, disconnect test leads from the circuit under test.
 WARNING! Never perform resistance measurements on live circuits.
 Always be careful when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Keep your fingers behind the probe guards while measuring.
 When not in use, store the meter carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location. Storage temperature range -10ºC to 50ºC.
 Never apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum.
 Should the low battery indicator appear on the LCD display, replace the battery immediately (PP3). A low battery level could cause

the meter to produce inaccurate readings.
 When not in use, store the meter in a safe, dry, cool and childproof location. DO NOT place in the proximity of a powerful source of
electromagnetic radiation.
