English 73 Series III Instruction Sheet. Panel 1 ? 73 Series III Multimeter Instruction Sheet Read First: Safety Information W To avoid damage to the meter, electric shock or injury: ? Never use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged. ? Be sure the test leads and rotary switch are in the correct position for the desired measurement. ? Never measure resistance in a circuit when power is applied. ? Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test leads are plugged into the 10 A or 300 mA input jack. ? Never use the meter on circuits that exceed 4800 volt-amps. ? Never apply more than the rated voltage between any input jack and earth ground. ? Be careful when working with voltages above 60 V dc or 30 V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. ? Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test probes when making measurements. W Warning To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (M) appears.
