Warning

Read carefully and make sure well understanding of the Manual before using The instrument.

Follow the instructions in the Manual whenever operating, keep the Manual in good condition for reference

whenever necessary.

Mis-operation may cause accidents and damages to the Instrument in testing.

Danger

Never make measurement on a circuit in which electrical potentials exceeding AC/DC250V.

Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gasses. Otherwise, the use of the

instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.

Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hands are wet.

Do not exceed the maximum range allowed.

Do not press the PRESS TO Key before connecting the Test Leads.

Never open the Battery cover during a measurement.

Cut off the power and remove any measuring parts connected to the Instrument before opening the battery

cover.

Warning

Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions, such as a broken cover or exposed

metal parts are present on the Instrument and Test Leads.

Replace Test Leads with new one in same specification and same electrical specification when it is broken.

www.victorruoshui.co.kr

Do not replace batteries if the Instrument is wet.

Ensure that the test leads are firmly inserted into the terminal.

Ensure that the Instrument is powered-off if opening the battery cover.

Caution

Set and ensure the Range switch to the appropriate position before making measurement.

Set the Range switch to“ OFF” position after use and remove the test leads.

Remove the batteries if the Instrument is to be stored and will not be in use for a long period.

Do not use the Instrument when mark displays.

Do not use or keep the Instrument in high-temperature, high-humidity, explosive, strong electromagnetic

and dewy environment or expose to direct sunlight.

Do not use abrasives or solvents. Use a damp cloth with neutral detergent for cleaning the instrument.

Do not store the Instrument if it is wet. Store it after it dries.
