* When using this Multimeter, the user must observe all normal
safety rules concerning.
---protection against the dangers of electric current.
---protection of the Multimeter against misuse.
* For your own safety, only use the test probes supplied with the
instrument. Before use, check that they are in good condition.Pg.2
1.1.2 During use
* If the meter is used near noise generating equipment, be aware
that display may become unstable or indicate large errors.
* Do not use the meter or test leads if they look damaged.
* Use the meter only as specified in this manual, otherwise, the
protection provided by the meter may be impaired.
* Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or
bus bars.
* Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
* Verify a Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage. Do not
use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be
impaired. When in doubt, have the meter serviced.
* Uses the proper terminals, function, & range for your
measurements.
* When the range of the value to be measured is unknown, check
that the range initially set on the multimeter is the highest possible
or, wherever possible, choose the autoranging mode.
* To avoid damages to the instrument, do not exceed the maximum
limits of the input values shown in the technical specification
tables.
* When the multimeter is linked to measurement circuits, do not
touch unused terminals.
* Caution when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
* When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
* When making connections, connect the common test lead before
connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the
live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
* Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the
circuit under test.
* For all dc functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to avoid the
risk of shock due to possible improper reading, verify the presence
of any ac voltages by first using the ac function. Then select a dc
voltage range equal to or greater than the ac range.
* Disconnect circuits power & discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on live
circuits.
* Before measuring current, check the meter’s fuse & turn off
power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
* In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on power
switching circuits, remember that high amplitude voltage pulses
at the test points can damage the multimeter. Use of a TV filter
will attenuate any such pulses.
* Use just 3pcs AAA batteries, properly installed in the meter’s
battery case, to power the meter.
* Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “ ”
appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false
readings that can lead to electric shock & personal injury.
* Do not measure voltages above 1000V in Category III, or 600V
in Category IV installations.
