Page 7: Safety Information
◆Read “Safety Information” before using this meter. ◆These multimeters are battery operated, with a digital display. ◆These Meters comply with IEC61010-1， 2001 CAT Ⅲ 600V. Refer to “GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS” for more information. ◆In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. - Page 8 Warning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, comply with the following practices: 1. Do not use the Meter in a manner not specified by this manual or the safety features of the Meter may be impaired.
- Page 9 Do not measure voltage when the function/range switch is set on the resistance (ohms), current, capacitance or temperature settings. Never measure current when the meter is set on the resistance (ohms), capacitance or temperature settings. Never measure AC voltage when the meter is set on DC voltage or DC current settings. Setting the meter on the incorrect function may burn out some of the internal circuitry and may pose a safety hazard.
- Page 10 Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed. . Use only two “AAA” 1.5V batteries (DAMP60), or three “AAA” 1.5V batteries (DAMP68), properly installed in the Meter case, to power the Meter. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

- Page 14 (1) Set the rotary switch at (DAMP60) or (DAMP68) position. For DAMP68, AC Current is default setting, press SHIFT button to select DC Current function. Before DC Current ZERO button to clear last reading from the display.
- Page 15 Notes: • Clamp the jaw around one conductor only; • Close the jaw completely; • Center the wire in the jaw for highest accuracy.
- Page 16 • DC Voltage Measurement Warning Do not measure voltage higher than 600V. It may cause damage to internal circuit. If the voltage is over 1000 VDC, the beeper will sound for warning continuously, designating an over-range measurement. (1) Set the function/range switch to position.
- Page 17 • AC Voltage Measurement Warning Do not measure voltage higher than 600V. It may cause damage to internal circuit. If the voltage is over 750 VAC, the beeper will sound for warning continuously, designating an over-range measurement. Set the function/range switch to position.
- Page 18 Ω (1) Turn the rotary switch to (DAMP60) or (DAMP68). Make sure power Ω is disconnected from the circuit to be measured. Resistance function is the default setting.
- Page 19 • Diode Check Ω Ω (1) Turn the rotary switch to (DAMP60) or (DAMP68) position. Press SHIFT button to select diode function. (2) Insert the black and red test leads into the COM and V/Ω input terminals respectively. (3) Connect the red probe to the anode side and the black probe to the cathode side of the diode being tested.
- Page 20 • Continuity Measurement Ω Ω (1) Turn the rotary switch to (DAMP60) or (DAMP68) position. Press SHIFT button to select continuity function. (2) Insert the black and red test leads into the COM and V/Ω input terminals respectively. If the resistance is ≤ 50 Ω, the beeper will sound continuously.
- Page 21 To measure temperature, do the following: °C °F °C (1) Turn the rotary switch to position. The feature is default setting. Press SHIFT °F butto n to select feature. Connect a K-Type thermocouple to the Meter’s COM and V/Ω terminals, making sure the thermocouple plug marked with “+”...
