OPERATING INSTRUCTION
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1. Set the function switch at V position.
2. Connect test leads across the source or load under
measurement. The Polarity of red lead connection will be
indicated at the same time as the Voltage value.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1. Set the function switch at V~ position.
2. Connect test leads across the source or load being measured
and read the voltage value on the LCD display.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT
1. Set the function switch at A position.
2. Open the circuit in which the current is to be measured ,and
connect Test leads in series with the circuit.
3. Read current value on the LCD display along with the polarity of
red lead connection.
AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT

1. Set the function switch at A~ position.
2. Open the circuit in which the current is to be measured ,and
connect Test leads in series with the circuit and read LCD
display.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
1. Set the function switch at Ω position.(Note: The polarity of red
lead is positive”+”)
2. Connect test leads across the resistor to be measured and read
LCD display.
3. If the resistor being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off
power of the circuit and discharge all capacitors before applying
test leads.
4. When measuring resistance above 1MΩ,the meter will take a
few seconds to get stable reading .It is normal for high
resistance measurement.
DIODE TEST
1. Set the function switch at position.(Note: The polarity of red
lead is Positive”+”)
2. Connect the red test lead to the anode of the diode to be tested
and the Black lead to the cathode of the diode.
3. The approx. forward voltage drop of the diode will be
displayed .If the Connection is reversed; only figure “OL” will

appear on the LCD display.
AUDIBLE CONTINUITY TEST
1. Set the function switch at position.
2. Connect test leads to two points of the circuit to be tested. If the
Resistance is less than 50Ω,buzzer will sound.
DATA HOLD APPLICATION
D-H button is used to hold a measuring result. When this button
is Pushed, LCD will keep the last reading until pushing this button
again or rotating the function switch.
BATTERY&FUSE REPLACEMENT
If the sign appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the
battery should be replaced. Remove the screw on the back cover
and open the Case. Replace the exhausted batteries with same
types.
Fuse rarely need replacement and blow almost always as a
result of Operator’s error .Open the case and replace blown fuse
with same ratings.
WARNING
Before attempting to open the case, always be sure that test
leads have been disconnected from measurement circuit.Close
case and tighten Screws completely before using the meter to avoid

electrical shock hazard.
For protection against fire, replace fuse only with the specified
ratings;
F500mA 250V.

CAUTION:
“Using this appliance in an environment with a strong
radiated radio-frequency electromagnetic field (approximately
3V/m), may influence its measuring accuracy. The measuring result
can be strongly deviating from the actual value.”
