Operating Instructions Measuring AC/DC voltage/HZ 1. Select AC voltage and Hz or DC voltage. 2. Insert the red probe in the red jack (positive terminal) and black probe in the black jack (COM terminal). 3. Touch the red and black probe to item under test. 4. The value will appear on the LCD. Note: Do not exceed 600V (AC/DC) as there is a risk of electric shock and potential damage to the instrument that may occur. Measure Resistance/Diode/Circuit On/Off/Capacity • Insert the red probe in the red jack (positive terminal) and black probe in the black jack (COM terminal).

Measuring AC/DC Current AC current • Select your desired range for AC current (600mA~, 6,000mA~, 60A~). Open the clamp head and attach the wire on the hook. Ensure that the hooks are firmly closed. Value will display on the LCD. DC current • Press the SELECT button and enter in the DC current range (6,000mA, 60A). Press the ZERO button to bring the reading back to zero. Press it multiple times if pressing it once doesn’t work. Open the clamp head and attach the wire on the hook. Ensure that the hooks are firmly closed. Value will display on the LCD. NOTE: Pull out the testing probe to avoid electric shock. The clamp should be in the same direction as the measured object in process of zeroing obtain accurate reading because of the product’s high sensitivity.

Measuring Non-Contact Field Measurement To measure the detected AV voltage or magnetic field close the clamp around the object to detect the motion. The analog quantity is “EF” when it is ≤ critical voltage and will display as “———“, different variations of buzzing will distinguish the intensity of detected field. Note: When the unit is in NVC measurement mode, pull out the testing probe to avoid electric shock. Backlight Press the HOLD button for 2 seconds to turn on the LCD backlight. Automatically Turns Off If the unit is left unused for 15 minutes it will automatically turn off to save power.
2. Remove the battery cover with a screwdriver. 3. Install two new AAA batteries. 4. Replace the cover and screw in the battery cover.
