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.

FUNCTION BUTTONS
ON/OFF
To Power ON the meter rotate the Function Selector switch
2
from the
OFF setting to any measurement setting. To Power OFF the meter rotate
the Function Selector switch
2
to the OFF setting. By default, the meter
will automatically Power OFF after 30 minutes of inactivity. Reactivate
meter by pressing any button. To deactivate the automatic Power OFF
feature, power the meter ON with the SEL button
11
depressed. When
automatic Power OFF is deactivated, the symbol will not be visible in
the display.
"SEL" (SELECT) BUTTON (FOR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS)
The "SEL" button
10
activates the secondary function for each
application accessible by the function selector switch
2
. For current
and voltage, it toggles between AC and DC. For the other functions, it
switches between °F and °C, between Hz and % Duty-cycle, between
Continuity and Resistance, and between Capacitance and Diode-test.
The default function for each application is printed on the meter in
white; the secondary function for each location is printed on the meter
in orange.
"HOLD" (DATA HOLD) BUTTON
Press the "HOLD" button
9
to hold the measurement on the display.
Press again to release the display and return to live measuring.
"RANGE" BUTTON
The meter defaults to auto-ranging measurement mode . This
automatically determines the most appropriate measurement range
for the testing that is being conducted. To manually force the meter to
measure in a different range, use the "RANGE" button
7
.
1. Press the "RANGE" button
7
to manually select measurement range
(is deactivated on the LCD). Repeatedly press the "RANGE"
button
7
to cycle through the available ranges, stopping once the
desired range is reached.
2. To return to auto-ranging mode, press and hold the "RANGE" button
7
for more than one second ( is reactivated).
"MAX/MIN" BUTTON
When the "MAX/MIN" button
8
is pressed, the meter keeps track of
the minimum and maximum value of the measurement as the meter
continues to take samples. The first press of the "MAX/MIN" button
8
displays the Max value, the second press displays the Min value.
To return to normal measuring mode, press and hold the "MAX/MIN"
button
8
for more than one second.
BACKLIGHT BUTTON
Press and hold the backlight button
6
for more than one second
to turn the backlight on or off. Backlight automatically turns off after
approximately 3 minutes.

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.
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.
