SAFETy INFORMATION

This meter has been designed according to IEC-61010 concerning electronic measuring
instruments with a measurement category (CAT III 600V) and pollution degree and to
2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads
for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.
• 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.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between
terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Before use, verifythe meter's operation by measuring a known voltage.
• When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting the meter in the
circuit. Remember to place the meter in series with the circuit.
• When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
• Use caution when working with voltage above 30V ac rms, 42V peak, or 60Vdc. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• When making connections, connect the common test lead before you connect the
live test lead. When you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
• Remove the test leads from the meter before you open the battery cover or the case.
• Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case removed or
loosened.
• To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal
injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator ("
