�Warnings: Read Before Using

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the

instrument might be impaired.

• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.

• Never measure ac current while the test leads are inserted into the input jacks.

• Do not use the Meter in wet or dirty environments.

• Do not use the Meter if it appears damaged. Inspect the Meter before use. Look

for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation around the

connectors.

• Inspect the test leads before use. Do not use them if insulation is damaged or metal is

exposed.

• Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.

• Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.

• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with

the conductor could result in electric shock.

• Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the

terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery cover.

• Never operate the Meter with the battery cover removed or the case open.

• Never remove the battery cover or open the case of the Meter without first removing

the test leads from a live conductor.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

These voltages pose a shock hazard.

• Do not attempt to measure any voltage that might exceed the maximum range of the

Meter.

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

• Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

• When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards.

• 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.

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the battery

as soon as the low battery indicator appears. Check Meter operation on a known

source before and after use.

• When servicing, use only specified replacement parts.

• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must

be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are

exposed.

• Only use the test lead provided with the Meter or UL Listed Probe Assembly rated CAT

IV 600V or better.
