W Read First: Safety Information
To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow these instructions:
• Never use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged.
• Be sure the test leads and rotary switch are in the correct
position for the desired measurement.
• Never measure resistance in a circuit when power is applied.
• Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test
leads are plugged into the
