I guess you can remove the sticker; it's only a warning.
It says: "STOP TESTING VOLTAGE IN CURRENT MODE!"

Good advice, actually.  :P

Thanks :P

Were customers using too much voltage in current mode for such labeling?  :-DD
The price is somehow very low ... hope somebody receives one to confirm shipping :P

With the sticker, and this as the first line of the eBay description "Please Note you have to reading the operate manual first before use,otherwise you will burn the device with wrong operat." I imagine they are getting a lot of people putting the probes into the current socket and then putting the other end into the wall socket.

I havn't used one, but I see that the DCA/ACA modes are on the power button... don't tell me that if you hit the power button it goes into DCA mode... that would be quite an easy way to fail.

I'm guessing you're right.

On the AliExpress page:

* Do NOT input voltage at the Current Mode, the Resistance Mode, the Diode Mode, the Continuity Mode, or the Temperature Mode.
* ...
* Do NOT input voltage exceeds 36V DC or 25V AC when you are at the setting of measuring current.


They've probably had a lot of customers claiming "It doesn't work!"  :scared:

Still, it's evidence that the meter is "safe". A complaining customer is a not-dead customer.  :popcorn:

Let’s see how much current the socket can provide.

I have seen it a lot of times usually it happens from inexperienced DIY guys.

Yeah but you don't see these warnings or stickers on other meters, there must be something about this one which makes it more likely, or more of a problem.
