The 61-770 series contains parts that can be damaged by static discharge. Follow the standard practices for handling static sensitive devices. For additional information about IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. and its products, and services, visit IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. web site at: www.idealindustries.com Precautions and Safety Information Use the meter only as described in the Users Manual.
Page 2 High Voltage Warning (HI-V): The meter beeps and lights an LED when >30V AC/DC voltage is present through test leads of the meter. This enhanced safety feature alerts the user that dangerous voltage is present across the leads even if the meter is set on an incorrect function or range. Notes: This feature does not work through the clamp head as the clamp is intended to only measure current.

Page 7 CALIBRATION Calibration Preparation Turn on the calibrator, allow calibrator to warm up. Perform calibration at 23±2°C (73.4°F ±3.5°F) at relative humidity of < 70%. Temperature stabilization should be reached after 30 minutes. Disconnect the test leads and turn the range switch to “OFF”. Remove the screws holding the battery cover, one at the jaw, and the screw for the TightSight™...
Page 8 Resistance Calibration 1. Set the function switch to range. Short the V and COM inputs on the meter. After a reading in the LCD is settled (about 5 seconds), press MAX/MIN button until unit display reads 000.0 ± 1 digit.
Page 9 Battery Replacement (Refer to Figure 1) 1. Disconnect the test leads from any circuit under test and turn off meter. 2. Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the screws on battery cover. 3. Remove battery from the battery compartment. 4.
