This meter is designed and manufactured according to safety requirements
of EN 61010-1, EN 61010-2-032, EN 61010-2-033 concerning electronic
measuring instruments with a measurement CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V and
pollution degree 2 and safety requirements for hand-held clamps for electrical
measurement and test.
1.1 PRELIMINARY
1.1.1 When using this meter, comply with standard safety rules:
- General shock protection
- Prevent misuse of this meter
1.1.2 After receiving meter, check for any transportation damage that may
have occurred.
1.1.3 If meter was stored or shipped under harsh conditions, confirm if
meter has been damaged.
1.1.4 Probe should be in good condition. Before use, check if probe
insulation is damaged and no bare metal wires are found.
1.1.5 Use the probe table provided with the meter to ensure safety. If
necessary, replace either probe with identical probe or one with the
same level of performance.
WARNING
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN USING THIS METER. IMPROPER
USE OF THIS DEVICE CAN RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
DESTRUCTION OF THE METER. TAKE ALL NORMAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS AND FOLLOW THE SAFEGUARDS SUGGESTED
IN THIS MANUAL. TO EXPLOIT FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF
THIS METER AND ENSURE SAFE OPERATION, PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
IF THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY
THE MANUFACTURER, THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE
EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.

1.2 USAGE
1.2.1 DO NOT measure voltage greater than 750 V AC, 1000 V DC.
1.2.2 DO NOT measure resistor, capacitor, diode and circuit while
connected to power.
1.2.3 DO NOT measure capacitance before capacitor is discharged
completely.
1.2.4 DO NOT use meter in explosive gas, vapor or dusty environments.
1.2.5 DO NOT store or use meter in direct sunlight, high ambient
temperature or high humidity.
1.2.6 During test of currents, resistors, capacitors, diodes and circuit
connections, DO NOT connect meter to a voltage source.
1.2.7 DO NOT use unless meter bottom case and battery cover are
completely fastened .
1.2.8 During use, select the right function and measuring range.
1.2.9 During measurement, DO NOT exceed the indicated value for
each range.
1.2.10 When measuring a circuit with the meter connected, DO NOT
contact with probe tip (metal part).
1.2.11 During measurement, if voltage to be measured is more than
60 V DC or 30 V AC (RMS), always keep fingers behind finger
protection device
1.2.12 In the manual measuring range mode, when measuring an
unknown value, select the highest measuring range first.
1.2.13 Before rotating Selector Switch to change measuring function,
remove probe from circuit to be measured.
1.2.14 If you find any abnormal phenomena or failure of meter, stop
using immediately.
