INTRODUCTION
Warning
Read the user manual before operating and
follow all safety information.
Only use the meter as specified in this user
manual.
Never use this meter on a circuit with volt-
ages greater than 600Vrms @ 50/60Hz.
Never measure current while the test leads
are connected to the input jacks.
Do not operate the meter if the body or test
leads look damaged.
Check the rotary range switch and make
sure it is at the correct position before each
measurement.
Do not perform resistance and continuity
test on a live circuit.
Use extreme caution when measuring live
systems with voltages greater than 60VDC or
30VAC.
Use extreme care when working around bus
bars and bare conductors.
Do not use the meter in over range/overload
conditions (OL).
For accurate readings, change the battery
when the symbol appears.

INTRODUCCIN
Advertencia
Lea el manual de usuario antes de operar
el instrumento y siga todas las instrucciones
de seguridad.
Use el medidor slo como se especifica en
este manual de usuario. De otra forma se
puede daar la proteccin del instrumento.
Nunca utilice este medidor en un circuito
con voltajes superiores a 600Vrms @
50/60Hz.
Nunca mida corriente mientras los cables de
prueba estn conectados a las entradas.
No opere el medidor si la carcasa o los
cables de prueba estn daados.
Revise el selector de rango rotatorio y
asegrese que est en la posicin correcta
antes de cada medicin.
No realice pruebas de resistencia ni de
continuidad en un circuito vivo.
Sea extremadamente cuidadoso cuando
mida en circuitos vivos con voltajes superio-
res a 60VCD o 30VCA.
Tenga mucho cuidado al trabajar cerca de
barras bus y conductores desnudos.
No utilice el medidor fuera de rango o en
condiciones de sobrecarga (OL).
Para evitar lecturas errneas, cambie la
batera cuando aparece el smbolo .
