test leads not connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit. MODE BUTTON To select Ohm/Diode/Continuity/Cap , DC/AC, Hz/%Duty RANGE BUTTON When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into...
Backlight Press and hold the HOLD key for >1 second to turn on or off the display backlight function. Note: The HOLD feature will activate when the Backlight is turned on. Press the HOLD key again to exit Hold. RELATIVE BUTTON The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference value.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. Be sure to observe the correct polarity (red lead to positive, black lead to negative). 4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value. If the polarity is reversed, the display will show (-) minus before the value.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC. CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the cap position. 2.
DIODE TEST WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it. 1. Set the function switch to cap position. 2. Press the MODE button until the symbol appears in the display. 3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (+) jack ().
value. CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the CAP position.
" ℃/℉ " switch to the corresponding position. WARNING: avoid electric shock, sure thermocouple has been removed before changing to another measurement function. REPLACING THE BATTERY WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery door.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the battery door is in place and fastened securely. NOTE: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and battery to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted.
