This multimeter is for low-voltage (≤600V) residential, automotive, and hobbyist use only. It is not for industrial high-energy electrical systems. The P30756 is an entry-level meter, not for laboratory use

The P30756 is an entry-level meter, not for laboratory use. The original manual states: “Calibration should be performed by a qualified technician every year.” In reality, you can check accuracy against a known voltage (e.g., a new 1.5V battery should read ~1.56V). If it reads 1.8V, the meter’s internal reference has drifted—replace the meter ($10-$15) rather than paying for calibration ($50+).
