Safety Precautions
· Read these operation instructions thoroughly and completely before
operating your meter. Pay particular attention to WARNING. The
· You must be careful when working with voltages above 30V AC. Keep
fingers behind the probe barriers while measuring.
· Never use the meter to measure voltages that might exceed the
maximum allowable input value of any function measurement mode.
· Always inspect your meter and test leads before every use. If any
abnormal conditions exist: broken test leads, cracked cases, LCD not
· Using the meter with the equipped test leads is only conform to safety
requirements. If you need instead broken test leads, you must replaced
· Never touch a voltage source when the test leads are plugged into a
current jack.
