•Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
•Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals.
•Use only correct measurement category (CAT), voltage, and amperage rated
probes, test leads, and adapters for the measurement.
•Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates
correctly.
•Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation and measure a known voltage.
•Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or between
each terminal and earth ground.
•Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown potentials. When HOLD
is turned on, the display does not change when a different potential is
measured.
•Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
•Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows. Check
test lead continuity.
•Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
•Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the battery door is
opened.

•Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated
individual component of a Product, probe, or accessory.
•Remove the input signals before you clean the Product.
•Use only specified replacement parts.
•Use only specified replacement fuses.
•Have an approved technician repair the Product.
•Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of
time, or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not
removed, battery leakage can damage the Product.
•Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent
incorrect measurements.
For safe operation and maintenance of the Product, repair the Product before
use if the batteries leak.
