WARNING
WARNING
1) When measuring voltage ensure that instrument is not connected or switched to a
current or resistance range, or to the diode check. Always ensure that the correct
terminals are used for the type of measurement to be made.
2) Take extreme care when measuring voltage above 50V, especially from sources
where high energy is existed.
3) Avoid making connections to “ live ” circuits whenever possible.
4) When making current measurements ensure that the circuit not “ live ” before
opening it in order to connect the test leads.
5) Before making resistance measurements or diode test, ensure that the circuit
under test is de-energized.
6) Always ensure that the correct function and range is selected. If in doubt about
the correct range to use, start with the highest and work downwards.
7) Extreme care should be taken when using the instrument to conjunction with a
current transformer connected to the terminals if an open circuit occurs.
8) Ensure that the test leads and probes are good condition with no damage to the
insulation.
9) Take care not to exceed the over-load limits as given in the specification.
10) FUSE FOR REPLACEMENT MUST BE OF THE CORRECT TYPE AND
RATING.
11) Before opening the case of the instrument to replace battery or fuse, disconnect
the test leads from any external circuit, set the selector switch to “ OFF ” position.

Do not try to modify the inner circuit.
1) Keep the multime t er dry. Keep the multi-meter away from dust and dirt
2) Use and store the multi-meter only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries ,
and distort or melt plastic part.
3) Handle the multi meter gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit
boards and case and can cause the multi-meter to work improperly although the
holster can provide enough protection.
4) Wipe the multi-meter with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
multi-meter.
5) Take out off the battery if do not use for a long time. When LCD displays “ ” , the battery should be replaced.
a. Ensure the instrument is not connected to any external circuit. Set the selector
switch to
OFF position and remove the test leads from terminals.
b. Remove the screw on the bottom case and lift the bottom case.
c. Remove the spent battery and replace it with a battery of the same type.
6) Replace the fuse with same type and rating as the replacements.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
1) Do not input a voltage over 1000V DC/AC peak value.
2 ) Do not measure voltage at current range, resistance range, diode and buzzer

3 ) Do not use the meter if the battery is not replaced well or the battery case is not
fixed.
4 ) Before replacing battery or fuse, release the test leads from the test point and
turn power off.

2 ) If "OL" displays on LCD, it means over-range. When measuring resistance more
than 1M Ω, the meter may take a few seconds to stabilize. This is normal for
high resistance readings.
3) When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the figure " OL " will be
displayed for the over range condition.
4) When checking in-circuit resistance, be sure the power has been switched off all

WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
1) When measuring voltage ensure that instrument is not connected or switched to a
current or resistance range, or to the diode check. Always ensure that the correct
terminals are used for the type of measurement to be made.
2) Take extreme care when measuring voltage above 50V, especially from sources
where high energy is existed.
3) Avoid making connections to “ live ” circuits whenever possible.
4) When making current measurements ensure that the circuit not “ live ” before
opening it in order to connect the test leads.
5) Before making resistance measurements or diode test, ensure that the circuit
under test is de-energized.
6) Always ensure that the correct function and range is selected. If in doubt about
the correct range to use, start with the highest and work downwards.
7) Extreme care should be taken when using the instrument to conjunction with a
current transformer connected to the terminals if an open circuit occurs.
8) Ensure that the test leads and probes are good condition with no damage to the
insulation.
9) Take care not to exceed the over-load limits as given in the specification.
10) FUSE FOR REPLACEMENT MUST BE OF THE CORRECT TYPE AND
RATING.
11) Before opening the case of the instrument to replace battery or fuse, disconnect
the test leads from any external circuit, set the selector switch to “ OFF ” position.

MAINTENANCE
Do not try to modify the inner circuit.
1) Keep the multime t er dry. Keep the multi-meter away from dust and dirt
2) Use and store the multi-meter only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries ,
and distort or melt plastic part.
3) Handle the multi meter gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit
boards and case and can cause the multi-meter to work improperly although the
holster can provide enough protection.
4) Wipe the multi-meter with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
multi-meter.
5) Take out off the battery if do not use for a long time. When LCD displays “ ” , the battery should be replaced.
a. Ensure the instrument is not connected to any external circuit. Set the selector
switch to
OFF position and remove the test leads from terminals.
b. Remove the screw on the bottom case and lift the bottom case.
c. Remove the spent battery and replace it with a battery of the same type.
6) Replace the fuse with same type and rating as the replacements.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
1) Do not input a voltage over 1000V DC/AC peak value.
2 ) Do not measure voltage at current range, resistance range, diode and buzzer
range.
3 ) Do not use the meter if the battery is not replaced well or the battery case is not
fixed.
4 ) Before replacing battery or fuse, release the test leads from the test point and
turn power off.
