Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech MN16 Autoranging Multimeter. This meter 
measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode Test, 
and Continuity plus Thermocouple Temperature. It features a rugged design for heavy duty 
use This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years 
of reliable service. 

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device 

indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating 

Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to the meter. 

This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which 

if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. 

This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which 

if not avoided, may result damage to the product. 

This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be 

connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth 

ground exceeds (in this case) 600 VAC or VDC. 

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being 

associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to 

particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its 

test leads should not be handled when these terminals are energized. 

This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by double 

insulation or reinforced insulation. 

 

• 

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and 

understand this user manual before operating the meter. 

• 

Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses. 

• 

Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before 

operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use. 

• 

Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC 

rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard. 

• 

Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before 

performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests. 

• 

Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the 

uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should 
be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live". 

• 

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the 

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. 

• 

Disposal: Follow all legal stipulations regarding disposal of this device at the end of 

its lifecycle 

• 

This device is not a toy and is not intended for children. It contains hazardous 

objects as well as small parts that the children could swallow. Should a child 
swallow any part, contact a physician immediately. 

• 

Do not leave batteries or packing material lying around, they can be dangerous for 

children if they use them as toys. 

• 

In the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the 

batteries.  

• 

Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with skin. Always, 

use gloves when handling damaged batteries. 

• 

See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into fire.
