If the equipment is used incorrectly or is faulty, then the measurements will be inaccurate. If the measurements are inaccurate, then the technician will draw the wrong conclusions. To avoid getting inaccurate readings, you need to handle, use, and store meters properly. When you are done using a multimeter, it should always be turned off to extend battery life.
PRECAUTIONS IN HANDLING AND USING A METER
These precautions apply equally to digital and analog meters.
Do not drop any meter.
Do not overload any meter. When in doubt, use a high range that you know will not be overloaded. You can always switch to a lower range if necessary. Do not tamper with precision instruments. Let a competent instrument repair person service precision instruments. Before you connect a meter to a circuit, ensure that the range switch is set to an appropriate position. Carefully check circuit connections before applying power to meters. Be careful not to touch any other electronic components within the equipment. Be careful not to touch the probe tips to each other while connected to anything else. Never switch settings (voltage to current for example) while the probes are connected to circuit
The two major types of meters are analog and digital (Figure 1). Although both meters perform the same functions, they look different.
