WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
• Before each use verify meter operation by measuring a known
voltage or current.
• Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the
category based rating of this meter.
• Do not use the meter during electrical storms or in wet weather.
• Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.
• Use only with CAT III or CAT IV rated test leads.
• Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep fingers away
from the metal probe contacts when making measurements.
• Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes
are connected.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS
or 60V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock,
replace batteries when a low battery indicator appears.
• Do not attempt to measure resistance or continuity on a live
circuit.
• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING TEST LEADS
Do not test if leads are improperly seated. Results could cause
intermittent display readings. To ensure proper connection, firmly
press leads into the input jack completely. Lead guard should be
flush with the meter’s faceplate.
TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use
the CAT III / CAT IV shield increases arc-flash risk.
TESTING IN CAT II MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
CAT III / CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This
will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall
outlets. Take care not to lose the shields.

NOTE: When in a voltage setting and the test leads are open,
readings of order mV may appear on the display. This is noise and
is normal. By touching the test leads together to close the circuit
the meter will measure zero volts.
NOTE: Do not attempt to measure more than 600V or 200mA.

5
, and BLACK test lead
into COM jack
4
, and rotate function selector switch
2
to the
highest Ω setting (2MΩ).
2. Remove power from circuit.
3. Measure resistance by connecting test leads to circuit and
rotating the function selector switch
2
to successively
lower Ω settings to obtain higher resolution measurements.
NOTE: When in a Resistance setting and the test leads are open
(not connected across a resistor), or when a failed resistor is under
test, the display will indicate O.L. This is normal.
DO NOT attempt to measure resistance on a live circuit.
CONTINUITY
1. Insert RED test lead into VΩ jack
5
and BLACK test lead into COM
jack
4
, and rotate function selector switch
2
to the setting.
2. Remove power from circuit.
3. Test for continuity by connecting conductor or circuit with test
leads. If resistance is measured less than 100Ω, an audible
signal will sound and display will show a resistance value
indicating continuity. If circuit is open, display will show "OL".
DO NOT attempt to measure continuity on a live circuit.
