IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain for future reference.
• Check the test leads, probes and case insulation before using. If you nd any
breakage or abnormality, or you consider the device is broken, stop using the
device immediately.
• When using the test probes, keep your ngers behind the nger protection
ring.
• Do not use the meter with the back cover open.
• Select appropriate test range for measurements.
• Ensure all inputs are less than the range selected otherwise it may cause
electrical shock or meter damage.
• Do not change the range selector position during voltage or current
measurements.
• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the marked voltage between COM terminal
and ground.
• Take caution when working voltages are above 60V DC or 30V AC rms.
• Do not connect the meter to voltage signals when the range selector is on
current, resistance, diode or continuity range.
• When measuring current, each single measurement should be shorter than 10
seconds.
• When a measurement has been completed, disconnect the testing probes
from the circuit under test.
• Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator appears on the
display.
• Remove dead batteries from the meter or if it is not going to be used for a long
time.
• Never mix old and new batteries together, or different types of batteries.
• Never dispose of batteries in a re, or attempt to recharge ordinary batteries.
• Before replacing the battery, turn off the meter and disconnect all the test
probes.
• To prolong battery life turn off the meter after use.

DC & AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
• Connect red test lead to “VΩmA” jack, Black lead to “COM” jack.
• Set RANGE switch to desired VOLTAGE position, if the voltage to be
measured is not known beforehand, set switch to the highest range and
reduce it until satisfactory reading is obtained.
• Connect test leads to device or circuit being measured.
• Turn on power of the device or circuit being measured voltage value will
appear on Digital Display along with the voltage polarity.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT
• Red lead to “VΩmA”. Black lead to “COM” (for measurements between 200mA
and 5A connect red lead to “5A” jack with fully depressed).
• Set RANGE switches to desired DCA position.
• Open the circuit to be measured, and connect test leads IN SERIES with the
load in with current is to measure.
• Read current value on Digital Display.
• Additionally, “5A” function is designed for intermittent use only. Maximum
contact time of the test leads with the circuit is 10 seconds, with a minimum
intermission time of 15 minutes between tests.

6
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
• Red lead to “VΩmA”. Black lead to “COM”.
• Set RANGE switch to desired Ω position.
• If the resistance being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off power and
discharge all capacitors before measurement.
• Connect test leads to circuit being measured.
• Read resistance value on the display.
DIODE MEASUREMENT
• Red lead to “VΩmA”, Black lead to “COM”.
• Set RANGE switch to “ ” position.
• Connect the red test lead to the anode of the diode to be measured and black
test lead to cathode.
• The forward voltage drop in mV will be displayed. If the diode is reversed,
gure “1” will be shown.
TRANSISTOR hFE MEASUREMENT
• Set RANGE switch to the hFE position.
• Determine whether the transistor is PNP of NPN type and locate the Emitter,
Base and Collector leads. Insert the leads into the correct pins of the hFE
socket.
• The meter will display the approximate hFE value at the condition of base
current 10μA and VCE2.8V.
AUDIBLE CONTINUITY TEST
• Red lead to “VΩmA”, Black lead to “COM”.
• RANGE switch to “ ” position.
• Connect test leads to two points of circuit to be tested. If the resistance is
lower than 30Ω ± 20Ω, the buzzer will sound.
TEST SIGNAL
• Set RANGE switch to “ ” position.
• A test signal (50Hz) is produced between “VΩmA” and “COM” jack.
• The output voltage is approx 5V p-p with 50KΩ impedance.
NOTE: OVERLOAD PROTECTION: 15 seconds maximum 220Vrms.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
CLEANING
SPECIFICATIONS
• If “ ” appears in display, it indicates that the battery should be replaced.
• To replace battery remove the meter from the protective surround, then
remove the 2 screws in the rear of the case
• Remove the rear case half and simply remove the old battery, and replace with
a new one. (9-volt battery, NEDA 1604 6F22 type)
• Be careful to observe correct polarity.
• Fuses rarely need replacement and blow almost always as a result of operator
error. (F500mA/500V for mA terminal and F5A/500V for 5A terminal).
• Clean the meter with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the meter.
