symbol will appear on the LCD display and the battery need to changed.
7-1-2 Pay attention to the “ ” besides the input jack which shows that the input voltage
or current should be within the specified value.
7-1-3 The range switch should be positioned to desired range for measurement before operation.

indicated along with the DC voltage value.
NOTE:
1.“ ” means you can’t input the voltage more than 1000V DC or 750V AC, it’s possible to
show higher voltage, but it may destroy the inner circuit or pose a shock.
2. Be cautious against shock when measuring high Voltage.

current measuring circuits which measure up to 400mA, with a 20A/500V fuse to protect the
20A range.
9-2 Ensure the meter is not connected to any external circuit, set the selector switch to “OFF”
position and remove the test leads from the terminals. Open the cover of the battery cabinet by
a screwdriver.
