made while measurement is conducted to prevent
damage of the Meter.
n When measurement is taken at an effective
voltage over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special
care should be taken for there is danger of

n Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of
high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable
and strong magnetic field. The performance of the

To avoid harm to you or damages to the Meter from
electric shock, please do not attempt to measure
voltages higher than 1000V DC or 750V AC rms
although readings may be obtained.
The DC Voltage ranges are : 2V, 200V and 1000V. To
measure DC voltage, connect the Meter as follows :
1) Insert the red test lead into the VW input
terminal and the black test lead into the COM input
terminal
2) Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement
