Safety
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function
• Do not apply voltage to the meter when resistance function
is selected
• Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use
Warning
• Set the function switch to the appropriate position before measuring
• When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes
• When changing ranges using the selector switch always disconnect
the test leads from the circuit under test
• Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits
Caution
• Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death
• Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter
• Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery
• Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any
damage before operating
• Repair or replace any damage before use
• Individual protective equipment must be used around voltages above
60V DC, 42.4V peak or 30V AC RMS
• Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long periods
• Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device
under test before performing diode, resistance, or continuity tests
• Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difcult and misleading
because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical
contacts
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufac-
turer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired

Operating Instructions
AC/DC Current Measurements
1. Rotate the Function switch to the
500ADC, 50ADC, 500AAC or 50AAC
position.
2. If the range needed is not known,
select the higher range rst then
move to the lower range if necessary.
3. Press the trigger to the open jaw and
fully enclose one conductor. The LCD
will display the reading.
AC/DC Voltage Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the
red test lead into the positive V terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the V position, and select either AC
or DC with the MODE button.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
The LCD will display the reading.
Resistance Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the
red test lead into the positive V terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the Ω position.
3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under
test. It is best to disconnect one side of the device under test so
the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the reading.
4. The LCD will display the reading.

Continuity Test
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the
red test lead into the positive V diode terminal.
2. Press the MODE button until the “Continuity indicator” appears on
the display.
3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under
test. If the resistance is < 35Ω, a tone will sound.
Diode Test
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the
red test lead into the positive V diode terminal.
2. Press the MODE button until the “Diode Test indicator” appears
on the display.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction
under test. Note the meter reading.
4. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
• If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 01.800V)
and the other reading displays OL, the diode is good.
• If both readings display OL the device is open.
• If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.
Capacitance Measurements
1. To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test
and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance mea-
surements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
2. Set the rotary function switch to the CAP position.
3. Press the MODE button until CAP is indicated on the display.
4. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the
red test lead into the positive V terminal.
5. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. Read the
capacitance value on the display.

Frequency/Duty Cycle Measurements
1. Set the rotary function switch to the V position.
2. Press the Hz/% button to indicate “Hz” in the display.
3. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the
red test lead into the positive V terminal.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. Read the
frequency value on the display.
5. Press the Hz/% button again to indicate “%” on the display.
6. Read the % of duty cycle on the display.
Temperature Measurements
1. To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any
source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.
2. Set the function switch to the TEMP position.
3. Select °C or °F with the MODE button.
4. Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative COM and the
positive V terminals, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
5. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the area to be measured.
Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading
stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
6. Read the temperature value on the display. To avoid electric
shock, be sure the thermocouple has been removed before
changing to another function.

Non-Contact AC Voltage Measurements
1. Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side
of the electrical outlet. If AC voltage is present, the detector will
light up.
2. The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best
results, rub the clamp tip along a length of the cord to assure
placing the tip in close proximity to the live conductor.
3. The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or
other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor.
Data Hold and Backlight
1. While taking a measurement, press the Data Hold button to freeze
the display and to activate the LCD Backlight.
2. The HOLD indicator will also appear on the display.
3. Press the Hold button again to resume measuring.
4. Press and hold the Data Hold button for two seconds to turn the
backlight on and off.
Relative Mode
Press the REL button for Capacitance Zero & Offset Adjustment.
Battery Replacement
1. Remove the Phillips screw on the back of the meter
2. Open the battery compartment
3. Replace the dead batteries and close the battery compartment
