Safety Information

Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door.

Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.

Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the meter serviced.

Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

Use only a single 9 V battery, properly installed in the meter case, to power the meter.

When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, follow these guidelines:

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.

Before measuring current, check the meter’s fuses. (See "Testing the Fuses".)
