OPERATION Before taking any measurements, read the Safety Information Section. Always examine the instrument for damage, contamination (excessive dirt, grease, etc.) and defects. Examine the test leads for cracked or frayed insulation. If any abnormal conditions exist do not attempt to make any measurements.

Frequency Measurements 1. Set the Function/Range switch to the Hz desired range. 2. Connect the red test lead to the " + " jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack. 3. Connect the test leads to the point of measurement and read the frequency from the display.
MAINTENANCE WARNING Remove test leads before changing battery or performing any servicing. Battery Replacement Power is supplied by a 9 volt "transistor" battery. (NEDA 1604, IEC 6F22). The " " appears on the LCD display when replacement is needed. To replace the battery, remove the two screws from the back of the meter and lift off the battery cover.
