THE WARNINGS PROVIDED ARE IN THE INTEREST OF YOUR SAFETY.
ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEM ALL BEFORE INSTALLING OR
USING THE MULTIMETER. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE MULTIMETER.
Warning
To protect your investment and to eliminate unnecessary service calls,
familiarize yourself with the following facts:
lBefore using the Multimeter, inspect the case. Do not use the Multimeter if
damaged or the case (or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or
missing plastic parts. Pay attention to the insulation around the
connectors.
lInspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the
test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads with identical model
number or electrical specifications before using the Multimeter.
lDo not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Multimeter,
between the terminals or between any terminal and ground.
lPrior to measurement, ensure that the rotary switch is in proper position.
To prevent potential damage to the Multimeter, do not change range or
mode function during measurement.
lWhen the Multimeter is working at an effective voltage over 60V DC, or
30V RMS AC, take special care, for there is danger of electric shock.
lUse the proper terminals, functions, and ranges for your measurements.
