OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT 1) Set the function switch to the °C or °F position. 2) Then the display will show the environment temperature reading value directly. 3) Insert the black plug of the temperature probe into the COM jack. 4) Insert the red plug into the “VHz%” jack. 5) Touch the end of the temperature sensor to the area or surface of the object to be measured.
AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 1) Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 2) For current measurements up to: •...
CONTINUITY CHECK WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or wires that have voltage on them. 1) Set the function switch to the Ω position. 2 Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 3) Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive VHz% jack.
FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT 1) Set the function switch to the Hz position. 2) Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 3) Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive VHz% jack. 4) Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. 5) Read the frequency in the display.
