Measuring Dc/Ac Voltage - Radio Shack 2200813 User Manual

w
Caution:
• If you are measuring voltage or current when OF (overflow) appears, immediately
disconnect the test leads from the circuit.
• When measuring high-voltage circuits, do not position both test leads at once. Connect
the black test lead first to the circuit's neutral or ground lead. Then, using one hand,
probe for voltages with the other test lead. This helps prevent accidentally touching a
hot wire.

Measuring DC/AC Voltage

DO NOT try to measure voltages above 600 V DC/AC (RMS).
1. Set the function dial to V .
2. Press SELECT to select DC or AC.
3. Touch the black test lead to the circuit.
4. Touch the red test lead to the circuit.
If the meter is set to manual range and you measure an overrange input, OF will display. The
meter will return to standby mode when you remove the input.
