Use caution when measuring voltages above 30 V RMS, 42 V peak, or
60 V DC. These voltages pose an electric shock hazard.
When using the probes, always keep your fingers behind the finger
guards.
Always connect the common test leads (black) before connecting the
live test leads (red), and disconnect the live test leads (red) before
disconnecting the common test leads (black). This will reduce the
chance of an electric shock.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, continuity, diodes or capacitance.
If you need to open the Meter case or replace any parts, read the
instruction in this manual first. You must be a qualified personnel to
perform this action.
When replacing fuses, use only the same type and same rating as
specified.
Do not try to operate the Meter if it is damaged. Disconnect the power
from the equipment and consult the local service representative.
