Read First: Safety Information
To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow these instructions:
•Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads appear damaged, or if
you suspect that the meter is not operating properly.
•Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test
lead.
•When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.
•Do not use the V•Check mode to measure voltages in circuits that
could be damaged by this mode's low input impedance
(≅2 kΩ).
•Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, desoldering, or
breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
•Do not apply more than 600V rms between a meter terminal and earth
ground.
•Use caution when working with voltages above 60V dc or 30V ac rms.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

If the meter is ON but inactive and not connected to voltage for more than
45 minutes, the display goes blank to preserve battery life. To resume
operation, press any button.

W V • Check
If a dc or ac voltage greater than about 4.5V is present across the inputs
when the meter is set to R, G, or e, the meter switches automatically
to dc or ac voltage mode (V•Check mode).
WWarning
Repetitive transients on a dc bus will cause V•Check to
select ac volts, even though a hazardous dc voltage may
be present. To avoid a misleading display and possible
electric shock, manually select the proper volts function
for measurements on these circuits.
When V•Check is activated, the meter has low input impedance (LoZ)
≅2 kΩ. This load can alter the voltages in electronic control circuits. Do
not use V•Check to measure voltage in circuits that could be damaged by
a 2 kΩload.
Hint: V•Check can be effectively used to eliminate “ghost” voltages.
