Operation
Warning:
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUITS,
BOTH AC AND DC, ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND
SHOULD BE MEASURED WITH GREAT CARE.
1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF
position when the meter is not in use. This meter
has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the meter
OFF if 15 minutes elapse between uses.
2. If “OL” appears in the display during a
measurement, the value exceeds the range you
have selected. Change to a higher range.
Note:
On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the
test leads not connected to a device, the display
may show a random, changing reading. This is
normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity.
The reading will stabilize and give a proper
measurement when connected to a circuit.

Operation
Range Button
When the meter is first turned on, it automatically
goes into AutoRanging. This automatically selects the
best range for the measurements being made and
is generally the best mode for most measurements.
For measurement situations requiring that a range be
manually selected, perform the following:
1. Press the RANGE button. The “AUTO” display
indicator will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE button to step through the
available ranges until you select the range
you want.
3. Press and hold the RANGE button for 2 seconds
to exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to
AutoRanging.(If backlight is turn on, please
press BACKLIGHT button it will turn off).
4. To select Diode/continuity.
Data Hold Button
The Hold function allows the meter to “freeze” a
measurement for later reference.
1. Press the HOLD button to “freeze” the reading on
the indicator. The indicator “HOLD” will be appear
in the display.
2. Press the HOLD button to return to normal
operation.

Operation
Hz/duty
1. Switch to Hz/Duty range.
2. Press the Hz/Duty button to show the reading
in the display and the “Hz/Duty” indicator will
appear on the display.

DC Voltage Measurements
Caution:
DO NOT MEASURE DC VOLTAGES IF A MOTOR ON
THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SWITCHED ON OR OFF.
LARGE VOLTAGE SURGES MAY OCCUR THAT
CAN DAMAGE THE METER.
1. Set the function switch to the V DC position .
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the
negative (COM) terminal and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive (V) terminal.
3. Connect the test probe tips to the circuit under
test. Be sure to observe the correct polarity (red
lead to positive, black lead to negative).
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will
indicate the proper decimal point and value. If
the polarity is reversed, the display will show (-)
minus before the value.

AC Voltage Measurements
Warning:
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. THE PROBE TIPS MAY NOT
BE LONG ENOUGH TO CONTACT THE LIVE PARTS IN-
SIDE SOME 240V OUTLETS FOR APPLIANCES BECAUSE
THE CONTACTS ARE RECESSED DEEP IN THE OUTLETS.
AS A RESULT, THE READING MAY SHOW 0 VOLTS WHEN
THE OUTLET ACTUALLY HAS VOLTAGE ON IT. MAKE
SURE THE PROBE TIPS ARE TOUCHING THE METAL
CONTACTS INSIDE THE OUTLET BEFORE ASSUMING
THAT NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT.
Caution:
DO NOT MEASURE AC VOLTAGES IF A MOTOR ON
THE CIRCUIT IS BEING SWITCHED ON OR OFF.
LARGE VOLTAGE SURGES MAY OCCUR THAT CAN
DAMAGE THE METER.
1. Set the function switch to the V AC position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the
negative (COM) terminal and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive (V) terminal.
3. Connect the test probe tips to the circuit
under test.
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will
indicate the proper decimal point, value and
symbol (AC, V, etc.).

DC Current Measurements
Caution:
DO NOT MAKE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS ON
THE 10A SCALE FOR LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS.
EXCEEDING 30 SECONDS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE METER AND/OR THE TEST LEADS.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the
negative (COM) terminal.
2. For DC current measurements , set the function
switch to the DC 10A position and insert the red
test lead banana plug into the 10A terminal.
3. Remove power from the circuit under test, then
open up the circuit at the point where you wish
to measure current.
4. Connect the black test probe tip to the
negative side of the circuit. Connect the red test
probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
5. Apply power to the circuit.
6. Read the current in the display. The display
will indicate the proper decimal point, value
and symbol.

AC Current Measurements
Warning:
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT MEASURE
AC CURRENT ON ANY CIRCUIT WHOSE VOLTAGE
EXCEEDS 250V AC.
Caution:
DO NOT MAKE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS ON THE 10A
SCALE FOR LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS. EXCEEDING 30
SECONDS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE METER AND/OR
THE TEST LEADS.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the
negative (COM) terminal.
2. For AC current measurements , set the function
switch to the AC 10A position and insert the red test
lead banana plug into the 10A terminal.
3. Remove power from the circuit under test, then
open up the circuit at the point where you wish to
measure current.
4. Connect the black test probe tip to the negative side
of the circuit. And connect the red test probe tip to
the positive side of the circuit.
5. Apply power to the circuit.
6. Read the current in the display. The display will
indicate the proper decimal point, value and symbol.

Warning:
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT POWER
TO THE UNIT UNDER TEST AND DISCHARGE ALL
CAPACITORS BEFORE TAKING ANY RESISTANCE
MEASUREMENTS. REMOVE THE BATTERIES AND
UNPLUG THE LINE CORDS.
1. Set the function switch to the Ωposition.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the
negative (COM) terminal and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive Ωterminal.
3. Connect the test probe tips across the circuit or
part under test. It is best to disconnect one side of
the part under test so the rest of the circuit will not
interfere with the resistance reading.
4. Read the resistance in the display. The display will
indicate the proper decimal point, value and symbol.

Continuity Check
Warning:
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, NEVER MEASURE
CONTINUITY ON CIRCUITS OR WIRES THAT HAVE
VOLTAGE ON THEM.
