SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to ensure maximum personal
safety during the operation at this meter:
Use the meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the
meter might be impaired.
Test the meter on a known voltage before using it to determine if hazardous
voltage is present.
Do not use the meter if themeter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect
that the meter is not operating properly.
Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch
exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential.
Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber shoes, rubber
mats, or any approved insulating material.
Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking
the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a
shock hazard.
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the multimeter may damage the
meter and expose the operator to a shock hazard.Always recognize the meter
voltage limits as stated on the front of the meter.

examine the instrument for damage, contamination (excessive dirt, grease,
and defects. Examine the test leads for cracked or frayed insulation. If any
abnormal conditions exist do not attempt to make anymeasurements.
Input Warning Beeper
The meter has a beeper that warns the user when the test lead is in the current
jack while the meter is switched tomake a voltage measurement.Another safety
feature to protect the meter and you.
Data Hold Feature
Press [HOLD] button to lock the reading on display, and release it by pressing
the button again.
Manually Selecting Range
The meter also has amanual range mode. In manual range, you select and lock
the meter in a range. To manually select a range:
Press [RANGE] button to hold the selected range. Subsequently pressing the
[RANGE] button will select each range in sequence from the lowest to highest
range. Hold the button for 2 seconds to return to theAutorange Mode.
Voltage Measurements
1.Connect the red test lead to ”VΩ”jack and the black test lead to the ”COM”
jack.
2.Set the Function/Range switch to the desired voltage type (AC or DC) and
range. If magnitude of voltage is not known, set switch to the highest range
and reduce until a satisfactory reading is obtained.
3.Connect the test leads to the device or circuit being measured.
4. For dc, a (-) sign is displayed for negative polarity; positive polarity is implied.
Current Measurements
1.Connect the red test lead to the (uA, mAor 10A) jack and the black test lead to
the "COM" jack.
2.Set the Function/Range switch to the DC orAC ranges.
3.Remove power from the circuit under test and open the normal circuit path
where the measurement is to be taken. Connect the meter in series with the
circuit.
4.Apply power and read the value from the display.
Resistance Measurements
1.Set the Function/Range switch to the desired resistance range.
2.Reove power from the equipment under test.
3.Connect the red test lead to the "VΩ" jack and the black test lead to the "COM"
jack.
4.Connect the test leads to the points of measurements and read the value from
the display.
Diode Tests
1.Connect the red test lead to the “VΩ” jack and the black test lead to
the ”COM” jack.
2.Set the Function/Range switch to the “ “ position.
3.Turn off power to the circuit under test. External voltage across the
components causes invalid readings.
4.Touch probes to the diode.A forward-voltage drop is about 0.6V (typical for a
silicon diode).
5.Reverse probes. If the diode is good, “OL”is displayed. If the diode is shorted,
“000” or another number is displayed.
6. If the diode is open,“OL” is displayed in both directions.
7.Audible Indication: Less than 0.25V.
Continuity Measurements
1.Set the Function switch to the position.
2.Turn off power to the circuit under test. External Voltage across the
components causes invalid reading.
3.Connect the test leads to the two points at which continuity is to be tested. The
buzzer will sound if the resistance is less than approximately25Ω.
Auto Power Off
1.Auto power off: approx.10 minutes.
2.After auto power off, press any button to restart the meter, and the reading of
measurement will be maintained in the display.
Cancellation of Auto Power Off Feature:
Press and hold the (RANGE) button while rotating function switch from off to
any position to turn the meter on. The auto power off feature is disabled.
Note“APO”annunciator is missing from the LCD.
