Making Basic Measurements
The figures on the following pages show how to make basic
measurements.
When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device, connect
the common (COM) test lead before connecting the live lead;
when removing the test leads, remove the live lead before
removing the common test lead.
XW Warning
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the Meter,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes,
or capacitance.
