1.1 Warning
Use extreme caution in the use of this device. Improper use of this device can
result in injury or death. Follow all safeguards suggested in this owner’s manual in
addition to normal safety precautions in dealing with electrical circuits. Do not

1.2 A word about safety
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 :
l Never apply a voltage to the multimeter that exceeds the limits given in the
specifications. Never apply more than 1000V DC or 1000V rms AC between
an input jack and ground.
l Use extreme caution when working with voltages above 60V DC or 30 V AC
rms.
l Always discharge filter capacitors in the power supply circuit under test
before you attach test leads.
l Never connect to a source of voltage when you select the resistance
measurement.
l Always turn off power and disconnect the test leads before you replace the
batteries or fuse.
l Never operate the multimeter unless the battery cover is in place and fully
closed. When carrying out measurements on television or switching power
circuits, always remember that there may be high amplitude voltages pulses
at test points which can damage the meter.
