5. Operation

WARNING
1. When measuring voltage, be sure that the instrument is not

connected or switched to the resistance range. Always ensure
that the correct terminals are used for the type of measurement
to be made.

2. Use extra care when measuring voltage above 50V, especially

from sources where high voltage is present.

3. Avoid making connections to live circuits whenever possible.
4. When making current measurements, be sure that the circuit is

not live before opening it to connect the test leads.

5. Before making resistance measurements or diode test, ensure

that the circuit under test is discharged.

6. Always ensure that the correct function and range is selected. If

in doubt on which range to use, start with the highest and work
your way down.

7. Extreme care should be taken when using the instrument in

conjunction with a current transformer connected to the
terminals if an open circuit occurs.

8. Ensure that the test leads and probes are in good condition with

no damage to the insulation.

9. Take care not to exceed the overload limits as shown in the

specifications.

10. Before opening the case of the instrument to replace the

battery, disconnect the test leads from any external circuit, set
the selector switch to the OFF position.

5-1. Check the Batteries
