CAT III 600V) and pollution level 2.
To get the best service from this instrument, read carefully this user manual and
respect the detailed safety precautions.
1.1. Precautionary safety measures
Preliminary
• When using this multimeter, the user must observe all normal safety rules
concerning:
- Protection against the dangers of electric current.
- Protection of the multimeter against misuse.
• For your own safety, only use the test probes supplied with the instrument.
Before use, check that the meter and probes are in good condition.
During use
• DO NOT use the meter or test leads if they look damaged.

correct position. If the value scale is unknown, ALWAYS set the range dial at
the highest possible setting.
• To avoid damaging the instrument, DO NOT exceed the maximum input limits.
• CAUTION when working with voltages above 60V DC or 30V AC RMS. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
