SAFETY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1. Check the 9-volt battery by setting the range switch to any other range but Off. If the battery
is weak a sign will appear on the display. If this does not appear on the display proceed as
below. See MAINTENANCE if the battery has to be replaced.
2. The mark or sign next to the test lead jacks warns that the input voltage or current
should not exceed the indicated values. This is to prevent damage to the internal circuit.
3. The function switch should be set to the range to be tested before operation.
4. If the voltage or current range is not known beforehand set the RANGE switch to a high range
and work down.
5. When only the figure “ 1” is displayed, over-range is being indicated, and the FUNCTION
switch must be set to a higher range.
6. Do not measure large current 10 amp lasting more than 15 seconds. This can cause damage
to the instrument and or equipment being tested and or injury to the user.
7. To avoid electric shock, disconnect measuring terminals before removing back cover.
DC Voltage Measurement
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test lead to the VΩµA/mA jack.
2. Make sure that the AC/DC switch Button is on DC position (UP).
3. Set the FUNCTION switch to the V range to be used and connect the test leads across the
source or load under measurement. The polarity of the RED lead connection will be indicated
at the same as the voltage.
4. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note: Do not apply more than 1000V at all ranges to the input. Indication is possible at higher
voltages, but there is danger of damaging the internal circuit.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1. Check the 9-volt battery by setting the range switch to any other range but Off. If the battery
is weak a sign will appear on the display. If this does not appear on the display proceed as
below. See MAINTENANCE if the battery has to be replaced.
2. The mark or sign next to the test lead jacks warns that the input voltage or current
should not exceed the indicated values. This is to prevent damage to the internal circuit.
3. The function switch should be set to the range to be tested before operation.
4. If the voltage or current range is not known beforehand set the RANGE switch to a high range
and work down.
5. When only the figure “ 1” is displayed, over-range is being indicated, and the FUNCTION
switch must be set to a higher range.
6. Do not measure large current 10 amp lasting more than 15 seconds. This can cause damage
to the instrument and or equipment being tested and or injury to the user.
7. To avoid electric shock, disconnect measuring terminals before removing back cover.
DC Voltage Measurement
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test lead to the VΩµA/mA jack.
2. Make sure that the AC/DC switch Button is on DC position (UP).
3. Set the FUNCTION switch to the V range to be used and connect the test leads across the
source or load under measurement. The polarity of the RED lead connection will be indicated
at the same as the voltage.
4. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note: Do not apply more than 1000V at all ranges to the input. Indication is possible at higher
voltages, but there is danger of damaging the internal circuit.

OPERATIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1. Check the 9-volt battery by setting the range switch to any other range but Off. If the battery
is weak a sign will appear on the display. If this does not appear on the display proceed as
below. See MAINTENANCE if the battery has to be replaced.
2. The mark or sign next to the test lead jacks warns that the input voltage or current
should not exceed the indicated values. This is to prevent damage to the internal circuit.
3. The function switch should be set to the range to be tested before operation.
4. If the voltage or current range is not known beforehand set the RANGE switch to a high range
and work down.
5. When only the figure “ 1” is displayed, over-range is being indicated, and the FUNCTION
switch must be set to a higher range.
6. Do not measure large current 10 amp lasting more than 15 seconds. This can cause damage
to the instrument and or equipment being tested and or injury to the user.
7. To avoid electric shock, disconnect measuring terminals before removing back cover.
DC Voltage Measurement
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test lead to the VΩµA/mA jack.
2. Make sure that the AC/DC switch Button is on DC position (UP).
3. Set the FUNCTION switch to the V range to be used and connect the test leads across the
source or load under measurement. The polarity of the RED lead connection will be indicated
at the same as the voltage.
4. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note: Do not apply more than 1000V at all ranges to the input. Indication is possible at higher
voltages, but there is danger of damaging the internal circuit.

the source or load under measurement.
4. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note: Do not apply more than 300V at 200mV range and 750V rms. at other ranges to
the input. Indication is possible at higher voltages, but there is danger of damaging the
internal circuitry.

DC Current Measurement
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test lead to the VΩµA/mA
jack for Current Maximum of 400mA (Note: The polarity of the RED test lead is “+”).
For a maximum of 10A, move the red test lead to the 10A jack.
2. Make sure that the AC/DC switch Button is on DC position(UP)
3. Set the FUNCTION switch to the A range to be used and connect the test leads in series
with the load under measurement.
4. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note: A. The Maximum input current is 0.5A or 10A depending on the jack used.
Excessive current will blow the fuse that must be replaced. Another fuse 10A protects
the 10A range. The fuse rating should be 0.5A or no more than 10A to prevent damage
to the internal circuit. The Maximum terminal voltage drop is 200mV except for the 10A
range.

fuse of ordinary glass tube type.
AC Current Measurement
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test lead to the VΩµA/mA
jack for a maximum of 0.2A. For a maximum of 10A, Move the RED test lead to the 10A
jack.
2. Push down the AC/DC switch Button. Then all the ranges of current are AC type.
3. Set the FUNCTION switch to the A range to be used and connect the test lead in series
with the load under measurement.
4. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note: A. The Maximum input current is 0.2A or 10A depending upon the jack used.
Excessive current can blow the fuse. Another fuse 10A protects the 10A Range. The fuse
rating should be 0.5A or no more than 10A to prevent damage to the internal circuit. The
maximum terminal voltage drop is 200mV except for the 10A range.

fuse of ordinary glass tube type. Frequency Range: 40Hz to 1000Hz. Indication: Average (rms. of sine
wave).
Resistance Measurement
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM j jack and the RED test lead to the VΩµA/
mA jack (Note: The polarity of the RED test lead is “+”)
2. Set the FUNCTION switch to the Ω range to be used and connect the test leads across
the resistance under measurement.
3. Get the readings from the LCD.
Note:
1. If the resistance value being measured exceeds the maximum value of the range
selected, an over-range indication will be displayed (“1”), then select a higher range.
For resistance of approximate 1M ohm and above the Meter may take a few seconds to
become stable. This is normal for high resistance readings.
2. When the input is not connected i.e. at open circuit the figure “1” will be displayed for
the over-range condition.
3. When checking in-circuit resistance, be sure the circuit under test has all power
removed and that all capacitors are fully discharged.

MAINTENANCE
Replacement for Batteries and/or Fuse should only be done after the test leads have been
disconnected and POWER OFF.
9-Volt Battery Replacement
Remove the screws from the back case of the meter, and lift off the rear case.
Remove the worn battery and replace with a new 9-volt 6F22 battery or equivalent.
Close the back case and tighten the screws.
Fuse Replacement
When current measurements are impossible, check if overload protection fuse blown.
There are two kinds of fuses. When the fuses need replacement, use only 0.5A/250V or
10A/250V fuses identical in physical size to the original.
CLEANING
To clean the device, use a damp cloth after having turned it off and removing the leads.
Do not use liquids, solvents or other products that can reduce the safety level of the device.
