Safety Information

To prevent electric shock, fire, or physical injury, users must adhere to the following safety protocols:

• Read all instructions carefully before use.
• Inspect the device housing and test leads for damage or missing insulation before every use.
• Do not use the device in environments with explosive gases, vapors, or in wet/damp conditions.
• Use only appropriate measurement categories (CAT), voltage, and current-rated test leads.
• Always keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• When measuring current, disconnect power to the circuit before connecting the meter in series.
• Ensure the device is functioning correctly by testing it on a known voltage source before critical measurements.
• Do not exceed the nominal voltage ratings between terminals or between any terminal and ground.
