the function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making resistance or diode tests. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries. - Page 4 result damage to the product. This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth ground exceeds (in this case) 500 VAC or VDC. This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to...

Page 10: Battery Installation
BATTERY INSTALLATION WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery door. Disconnect the test leads from the meter. Open the battery door by loosening the screw using a Phillips head screwdriver. Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the correct polarity. -

1.ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. 2.If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected. Change to a higher range. NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing reading. -

negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit. 4. Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to successively lower V DC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value. -
Page 13: Dc Current Measurements
Set the function switch to the highest V AC position. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack. Insert red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. - Page 14 2. For current measurements up to 200mA DC, set the function switch to the highest DC mA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) jack. 3. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the 10A range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (10A) jack.

Page 18: Replacing The Batteries
REPLACING THE BATTERIES WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery door. When the batteries become exhausted or drop below the operating voltage, “BAT” will appear in the right-hand side of the LCD display. - Page 19 Install the new fuse into the holder. Always use a fuse of the proper size and value (0.5A/250V fast blow for the 200mA range, 10A/250V fast blow for the 10A range). Put the fuse door back in place. Insert the screw and tighten it securely.
