LCD Digital Multimeter  (220-0166B)      Safety        Faxback Doc. # 15516

We have taken every precaution in the design of this meter to ensure that
it is as safe as possible.  But, safe operation depends on you, the
operator.  We recommend that you follow these simple safety rules:

    Never apply voltages to the meter that exceed the limits given in the
    specifications.  Never apply more than 1000V DC or 750V RMS AC between
    input jacks and ground.

    Use extreme caution when working with voltages above 100V.  Always
    disconnect power from the circuit you measure before you connect test
    leads to high-voltage points.

    Never connect to a source of voltage when you select the diode check,
    kohm, or DCmA function.

    Always discharge filter capacitors in the power supply circuit under
    test before you attach test leads.

    Always turn off power and disconnect the test leads before you replace
    the battery or fuse.

    Never operate the meter unless the battery cover is in place and fully
    closed.

    Because many AC-DC sets have a potentially live chassis, be sure the
    top of your workbench and the floor underneath it are made of non-
    conductive materials.

This meter is fully calibrated and tested.  Under normal use, no further
adjustment should be necessary.  If the meter should require repair, do not
try to adjust it yourself.  Take it to your nearest Radio Shack store.

Service by unauthorized personnel voids the warranty.

WARNING:  USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE USE OF THIS DEVICE.  IMPROPER USE OF
          THIS DEVICE CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.  FOLLOW ALL SAFEGUARDS
          SUGGESTED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL IN ADDITION TO NORMAL SAFETY
          PRECAUTIONS IN DEALING WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS.  DO NOT USE THIS
          DEVICE IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND TESTING
          PROCEDURES.

NOT FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE.

SPECIAL PANEL MARKINGS

We have added special markings to the panel to remind you of the
measurement limitations and safety.

1.  diode/Kohm/DCmA    The maximum current that you can measure is 200
    200 mA MAX         milliamps.

2.  750V MAX           To avoid electrical shock or instrument damage, do
    with respect       not connect the common input terminal (-COM jack)
    to ground          to any source of more than 750V with respect to
                       earth/ground.

3.  !                  Refer to complete operating instructions.

4.  DC 1000V           The maximum voltage that can be measured is 1000V
    AC 750V MAX        DC or 750V AC.

5.  WARNING:           Be extra careful when making measurements for high
                       voltage.

                       DO NOT TOUCH TERMINALS OR PROBE ENDS.
