The instrument is designed according to the
requirements of the international electrical safety
standard IEC61010-1 for the safety requirements of
the electronic testing instruments. The design and
manufacture of instruments strictly comply with the
requirements of IEC61010-1 CAT.III 600V over voltage
safety standards.
Warning.
In order to avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury, please abide by the following specifications:
• Please read this manual carefully before using the
instrument and pay special attention to safety
warning information.
• Strictly observe the operation of this manual and
use this instrument. Otherwise, the protection
function of the instrument may be damaged or
weakened.
• Please be careful if the measurement exceeds
30V AC true RMS, 42V AC peak or 60V DC.
There may be danger of electric shock at this
kind of voltage.
• By measuring the known voltage to check whether
the meter work is normal, if it is not normal or
damaged, do not use.

Safety Instructions

• Before using the instrument, please check whether
there is any crack or plastic damage in the
instrument case. If there is any damage, do not use.
• Before using the instrument, please check whether
the probe is cracked or damaged. If so, please
replace the same type and the same electrical
specications.
• The instrument shall be used in accordance with the
specied measurement category, voltage or current
rating.
• Please comply with local and national safety code.
Wear personal protection equipment to prevent
injury by electric shock and electric arc due to
exposed hazardous live conductor.
• When the low battery indicator shows, replace
the battery to prevent any measurement error.
• Do not use the instrument around explosive
gas, steam or in wet environment.
• When using the probe, please put your ngers
behind the nger protector of the probe.
• When measuring, please connect the ground line
rst, then connect the live wire; when disconnecting,
please disconnect the live wire rst then disconnect
the zero-ground line.
• Do not use the multimeter if it is damaged or the
battery cover is open.
