1. Safety Information
Safety Considerations
Before any operations, please read the following safety precautions to avoid any
possible bodily injury and prevent damage to this product or any other products
connected. To avoid any contingent danger, use this product only as specified.
EC Declaration of Conformity:
Meets intent of Directive 2004/108/EC for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings.
Do not use the multimeter if it is damaged. Before you use the multimeter, inspect
the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
Do not use the test leads provided for other products. Use only the certified test
leads specified for this product.
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal.
Before use, verify the multimeter's operation by measuring a known voltage.
Only the qualified technicians can implement the maintenance.
Always use the specified battery type. The power for the multimeter is supplied with
a battery. Observe the correct polarity markings before you insert the batteries to
ensure proper insertion of the batteries in the multimeter.
Check all Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, check all ratings and
markers of this product. Refer to the user's manual for more information about
ratings before connecting to the multimeter.
Do not operate the multimeter with the cover or portions of the cover removed or
loosened.
Use Proper Fuse. Use only the specified type and rating fuse for the multimeter.
Do not operate if in any doubt. If you suspect damage occurs to the multimeter,
have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations.
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage (as marked on the multimeter) between
terminals, or between terminal and earth ground.
When measuring current, turn off the circuit power before connecting the
multimeter in the circuit. Remember to place the multimeter in series with the
circuit.

User Manual

When servicing the multimeter, use only the specified replacement parts.
Use caution when working above 60 VDC, 30 VAC RMS, or 42.4 V peak. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test
leads.
Remove the test leads from the multimeter before you open the battery cover.
To avoid false readings, which may lead to possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator appears and flashes.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements. When the
range of the value to be measured is unknown, set the rotary switch position as the
highest range, or choose the auto ranging mode. To avoid damages to the multimeter,
do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical
specification tables.
Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you
disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

Measurement Category
The multimeter has a safety rating of 1000 V, CAT III and 600 V, CAT IV.
Measurement category definition
Measurement CAT I applies to measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to the AC mains. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from the
AC mains and specially protected (internal) mains- derived circuits.
Measurement CAT II applies to protect against transients from energy-consuming
equipment supplied from the fixed installation, such as TVs, PCs, portable tools, and
other household circuits.
Measurement CAT III applies to protect against transients in equipment in fixed
equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits,
and lighting systems in large buildings.
Measurement CAT IV applies to measurements performed at the source of the low-
voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary over
current protection devices and ripple control units.

2. Quick Start
General Inspection
After you get a new multimeter, make a check on the instrument according to the
following steps:
1. Check whether there is any damage caused by transportation.
If the packing boxes or foam cushions are found to have serious damage, keep them
in a safe place until the complete instrument and accessories have passed the
electrical and mechanical tests.
2. Check the Accessories
Check that all the parts and accessories are included and in serviceable condition.
3. Check the Complete Instrument
If the instrument is damaged in its appearance or it fails in normal operation or
performance test, do not use it and contact the supplier directly.
Install the Batteries
The multimeter is powered by a 9V (6F22) battery.
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 appears.
Before replacing the battery, turn off the meter, disconnect test
leads and any connectors from any circuit under test, remove test
leads from the input terminals. Use only the specified battery type.
Use the following procedure to install the batteries.
(1) Ensure that the rotary switch is at the position. Remove test leads and any
connectors from the input terminals.
(2) Lift the tilt stand and loosen the screws with a suitable Phillips screwdriver and
remove the battery cover.
(3) Observe the battery polarity indicated inside the battery compartment, Insert the
batteries.
(4) Place the battery cover back in its original position and tighten the screws.

Caution: To avoid instruments being damage from battery leakage, always remove
the batteries and store them separately if the multimeter is not going to be
used for a long period.
Adjusting the Tilt Stand
Pull the tilt stand outward to its maximum reach (about 85° to the meter body).
Power On
(1) To power ON the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to any other position except
.
(2) To power OFF the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to the position.
Sleep Mode
The multimeter automatically enters the sleep mode if the rotary switch is not moved or
a key is not pressed for 30 minutes. (When the Bluetooth is activated, this function is
disabled.)
Pressing or turn the rotary switch will turn the multimeter back to operation
mode from the sleep mode.
One minute before Auto Power-off, the buzzer will beep five times to warn. Before shutoff,
the buzzer will emit a long beep, and then the multimeter will shut off.
Note: In sleep mode, the multimeter will still consume a little power. If the multimeter is
not going to be used for a long period, the power should be turned off.
LCD Backlight and Flashlight
To implement the test among darkness, you can activate the LCD backlight and flashlight
by pressing for more than 2 seconds. The backlight and flashlight will last for one
minute. To turn off manually, pressing for more than 2 seconds.
Selecting the Range
Auto ranging is set as default when the meter is powered on, is displayed.
When auto ranging is enabled, press to enter the manual range mode.
In manual range, each additional press of sets the multimeter to the next
higher range, unless it is already in the highest range, at which point the range

switches to the lowest range.
When manual range is enabled, press for more than 2 seconds to enter the
auto ranging mode.
Note: Manual range is not available when measuring capacitance.
