measured point and make sure there are no signals on the input end. 5. During the electric measurement, never directly touch the ground or touch naked metal terminals, output ports, lead clamps, etc that may have ground potential. 6. Do not store and use the meter in the environment of high temperature, high humidity, high flammability, high explosion potential and strong magnetic field.
be sure to disconnect the test probe cable from the tested item and make sure there are no signals input into the input end. Never convert the function/range selection switch during measurement. 10. When the LCD display shows “ ”, please replace the battery in time to ensure the measurement accuracy.

C) Parellelly connect the test probe cable onto the tested resistor, then the tested resistance value will be shown on the screen. D) Read the currently measured result from the display. Note: • When the online resistor is measured, be sure to shut off the line power supply and discharge all capacitors completely.

• When the resistance above 1MΩ is measured, the reading on the meter will not be stable until several seconds have passed. This is normal for high-resistance measurement. • When the resistor is measured, do not input voltage value. Never input the voltage above the overload protection, otherwise, the meter may be damaged and the operator may be hurt.

head to clamp the conductor to be tested and then release the trigger slowly until the head is closed completely. Please confirm if such conductor is clamped in the center of the head because such conductor not placed in the center will cause additional error.
Note: 1. AC frequency response: 50~60Hz; 2. If this meter is near to any place with strong magnetic field, it will display unstable or incorrect induction reading that does not affect the measurement result. X. Maintenance and Care Warning: In order to prevent electric shock, before opening the bottom cover, take the test bar away.
