2. Safety Instructions
This multimeter is designed to ensure the safest operation possible. However, safe operation depends on you, the
operator. Make sure you follow these simple safety rules:
• Never apply a voltage to the multimeter that exceeds the limits given in the specifications. Never apply more than
1000V DC or 700V rms AC between an input jack and ground.
• Use extreme caution when working with voltages above 60V DC or 30V AC rms.
• Always discharge filter capacitors in the power supply circuit under test before you attach test leads.
• Never connect to a source of voltage when you select the DCA, ACA, resistance measurement or continuity
check function.
• Always turn off power and disconnect the test leads before you replace the batteries or fuse.
• Never operate the multimeter unless the battery cover is in place and fully closed.
When carrying out measurements on TV or switching power circuits, always remember that there may be high
amplitude voltages pulses at test points which can damage the meter.
