XW Warning. Read before using the Meter: To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines: ⇒ Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired. ⇒ Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced. ⇒ Always use the proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements. ⇒ Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. ⇒ Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground. ⇒ Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard. ⇒ Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator ( b ) appears. ⇒ Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance. ⇒ Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor. ⇒ When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards. ⇒ Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery door.
