Electrical Tester
Instruction Sheet
W Read First: Safety Information
Use the tester only as specified in this Instruction Sheet,
otherwise the protection provided by the tester may be
impaired.
WWarning
•Do not use the tester if it is damaged or operating
abnormally. Protection may be impaired.
•Before each use:
Make sure the battery door is closed and latched.
Inspect the tester and test leads. Look for cracks,
missing plastic, exposed metal, or damaged
insulation. Replace damaged test leads before using
the tester.
Verify the tester’s operation by measuring a known
voltage.
Perform the Battery Test to avoid false readings due
to a low battery.
•Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery
indicator (M) appears.
•Do not use the tester around explosive gas, vapor or
dust.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
the tester, between terminals or between any terminal
and earth ground.
•When servicing the tester, use only specified
replacement parts.
•Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc.
•When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the
finger guards on the probes.
•Connect the common test lead before you connect the
live test lead. Disconnect the live test lead first.

Voltage Indicator
While the tester is on, the LED glows when more than 30 V ac or
60 V dc is present across the leads.
The LED can also glow at lower voltages. Be aware that such
voltages pose a shock hazard.

Measuring Voltage (V)
The tester automatically selects dc (DC) or ac (AC) voltage mode
based on the peak values of the measured signal.
The tester defaults to ac voltage when turned on.

Display Hold
To hold the reading on the display, press and release HOLD.
The voltage indicator LED ( ) continues to operate.
To exit the display hold mode, press and release HOLD again, or
turn the rotary switch to a new position.
Automatic Power Down
The tester turns off automatically if you do not turn the rotary
switch or press HOLD for approximately 34 minutes. To resume
operation, turn the tester off, wait two seconds, then turn the
tester on.
Low Battery Indicator
WWarning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to
possible electric shock or personal injury, replace
the battery as soon as the low battery indicator
(M)appears.

Maintenance
Clean the case with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
Because the inputs are electronically protected, no fuses are
required.
Battery Replacement
Observe the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.
