disconnect one side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere
with the resistance reading.
For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the LCD display.

Diode Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into
the positive diode jack.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the
3. Press the MODE button until "
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V. Reverse voltage
will indicate "OL". Shorted devices will indicate near 0mV and an open device will indicate "OL" in both
polarities.

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 rotary function switch to the cap position.
2.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3.
Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.
4.
Read the capacitance value in the display
Frequency or % duty cycle measurements
1. Set the rotary function switch to the "Hz/%" position.
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive V jack.
3. Select Hz or % duty with the Hz/% button.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
5. Read the frequency on the display.
Data Hold and Backlight
To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the data hold button. The data hold button is located on the left side
of the meter (top button). While data hold is active, the HOLD display icon appears on the LCD. Press the
data hold button again to return to normal operation.
Note: The HOLD feature will activate when the Backlight is turned on. Press the HOLD key again to exit
