Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test, adhere to the following rules:
l Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do not
use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (or part
of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Pay attention to the insulation around the
connectors.
l Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity.
Replace damaged test leads with identical model
number or electrical specifications before using the
Meter.
l Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked
on the Meter, between the terminals or between any
terminal and grounding.
l The rotary switch should be placed in the right
position and no any changeover of range shall be
made during measurement is conducted to prevent
damage of the Meter.
7
Page 10
Model UT71C/D/E: OPERATING MANUAL
l When the Meter working at an effective voltage over
60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special care should be
taken for there is danger of electric shock.
l Use the proper terminals, function, and range for
your measurements.
l If the value to be measured is unknown, use the
maximum measurement position.
l Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of
high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable
and strong magnetic field. The performance of the
Meter may deteriorate after dampened.
l When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind
the finger guards.
l Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes.
l Before measuring current, check the Meter’s fuses
and turn off power to the circuit before connecting
the Meter to the circuit.
l Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator
appears. With a low battery, the Meter might
produce false readings that can lead to electric
shock and personal injury.
l When servicing the Meter, use only the same model
number or identical electrical specifications
replacement parts.
l The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered
at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident.
l Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to
clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No
abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the
surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and
accident.
l The Meter is suitable for indoor use.
l Turn the Meter off when it is not in use and take out
the battery when not using for a long time.

, frequency and
Note
l When measuring voltage, the Meter acts around a
10M ( V and V ) or 2.5G ( mV ) impedance in
parallel with the circuit. This loading effect can cause
measurement errors in high impedance circuits. In
most cases, the error is negligible (0.1% or less) if
the circuit impedance is 10k or less.
l Special care should be taken when measuring high
voltage.
l When voltage measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing leads
and the circuit under test and remove testing leads
away from the input terminals of the Meter.
