4. PRECAUTIONS & PREPARATIONS
FOR MEASUREMENT
1) Ensure that the DC 9V battery is connected to its snap
terminal with the right polarity and placed in the battery
compartment correctly.
2) Place the Red & Black Test Leads into the proper input
terminal before making measurement.
3) Remove either of the test leads from the circuit when
changing the measurement range.
4) Except operate the " Data Hold " function, it should
cancel the " Data Hold " function, otherwise the display
reading will freeze permanently.
5) Do not exceed the maximum rated voltage to the input
terminal.
6) Always switching the " Function Rotary Switch " to the
" Off " position when the instrument is not operation.
7) Remove the battery if the instrument is not to be used in
a long period of time.
8) Though the " Ohm " & " Capacitance " ranges build the
overload protection circuit, however it is prohibited to
apply any voltage to input terminal when making the
measurement.
9) The water resistance structure is apply for the
front panel only. Do not throw the instrument into
water, otherwise the meter will be damaged
permanently.

)
For safety consideration, when change the new test
leads, it should use the replace test leads that already
approval of " CATIII-1000V ".

5-2 DCV, ACV Measurement
1) Connect BLACK test lead into " COM " terminal.
2) Connect RED test lead into " V " terminal.
3) If measure " DCV ", select the " Function rotary switch "
( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) to the " V " position then push the
" FUNC. button " ( 3-9, Fig. 1 ) for display show " ".
4) If measure " ACV ", select the " Function rotary switch "
( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) to the " V " position then push the
" FUNC. button " ( 3-9, Fig. 1 ) for display show " ".
5) When LCD show the " AUTO " marker, the meter is
under the " auto range " mode., the meter will select the
suitable measurement range automatically.
6) Under the operation of " auto range " mode, push the
" Range button " ( 3-10 Fig. 1 ) will hold the range.
5-3 Resistance Measurement
1) Connect BLACK test lead into " COM " terminal.
2) Connect RED test lead into " Ω" terminal.
3) Select the " Function rotary switch " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) to the
" Ω" position then push the " FUNC. button "
( 3-9, Fig. 1 ) for display show " Ω".
4) When LCD show the " AUTO " marker, the meter is
under the " auto range " mode., the meter will select the
suitable measurement range automatically.
5) Under the operation of " auto range " mode, push the
" Range button " ( 3-10 Fig. 1 ) will hold the range.
5-4 Continuity Check
1) Connect BLACK test lead into " COM" terminal.
2) Connect RED test lead into " Ω" terminal.
