Electrical Tester Instruction Sheet
W Read First: Safety Information
If this product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
W Warning
•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.
•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.
•Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
•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.
•The display will not display hazardous voltages in display hold.
The voltage indicator LED ( ) continues to operate.

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
display will not display hazardous voltages in display 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 45 minutes. To resume operation, turn
the tester off, then turn the tester on.

Warning
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.
