This manual provides all safety information, operation instruction, specifications and
maintenance for the meter, which is compact, handheld, and battery operated. This
instrument performs AC/DC voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Audible Continuity,
Diode and Cable test, it is a 3 1/2 digits, 1999 counts auto ranging DMM. It has the
functions of polarity indication, data hold, back light, over range indication and
automatic power-off. It can be operated easily and is an ideal instrument tool. This
digital multimeter has been designed according to EN61010-1 oncoming electronic
measuring instruments with an over voltage category (CAT II 600V) and Pollution
degree 2.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to
the Meter or to the equipment under test, adhere to the following rules:
1. Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged
or the case (or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay
attention to the insulation around the connectors.
2. Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test
leads for continuity.
3. Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the
terminals or between any terminal and grounding.
4. The rotary switch should be placed in the right position and no any changeover of
range shall be made during measurement is conducted to prevent damage of the Meter.
5. When the Meter working at an effective voltage over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC,
special care should be taken for there is danger of electric shock.
6. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
7. Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of high temperature, humidity,
explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The performance of the Meter may
deteriorate after dampened.
8. When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
9. Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears. With a low
battery, the Meter might produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and
personal injury.
10. Remove the connection between the testing leads and the circuit being tested,
and turn the Meter power off before opening the Meter case.
11. When servicing the Meter, use only the same model number or identical electrical
specifications replacement parts.
12. The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered at will to avoid damage of the
Meter and any accident.
13. Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Meter
when servicing. No abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the
Meter from corrosion, damage and accident.
14. The Meter is suitable for indoor use.
15. Turn the Meter power off when it is not in use and take out the battery when not
using for a long time. Constantly check the battery as it may leak when it has been
using for some time, replace the battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking
battery will damage the Meter.
