Digital Multimeter

Precautions and Safety Information

When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

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.

When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

Do not use the Low Pass Filter option to verify the presence of hazardous voltages. Voltages greater than what is indicated may be present. Make a voltage measurement without the filter to detect the possible presence of hazardous voltage, then select the filter function.

XCaution

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.

Before measuring current, check the Meter's fuses. See " Testing the Fuses”.
