DANGER Never use the meter to measure voltages on a circuit above the maximum allowable input value on any function. Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measurement range. Never touch exposed wiring, connections or any live circuit when attempting to take measurements.
CAUTION Before making measurements ensure that the function selector switch is set on the appropriate range position. Always make sure that the plug of each test lead is inserted fully into the appropriate terminal of the meter. Ensure that the function selector switch is set to the “OFF”...

6. DATA HOLD This is a function used to freeze the reading on the display, ideal for later viewing. HOLD 1. Press the button once. When the Hold is activated, the meter beeps, freezes the reading, and displays the “HOLD” indicator on the LCD.
9. AC TRUE RMS CURRENT MEASUREMENT WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current measurements. 1. Set the function switch to 400A 1000A range position, and make sure that the current under test does not exceed the upper limit of the measuring range you have selected.
10. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT _ _ _ _ 1. Set the function switch to range position. The meter automatically defaults to DC Volts. 2. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM” terminal.
11. AC TRUE RMS VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT _ _ _ _ 1. Set the function switch to range position. 2. Press the button to select the AC Volt MODE range. The meter automatically defaults to DC Volts. 3. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM”...
12. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT 1. Set the function switch to range Ω position. The meter automatically defaults to resistance range. 2. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM” terminal.
13. CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT 1. Set the function switch to range position. 2. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM” terminal. 3. Connect the other end of the test leads to the circuit or component under test.
14. FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT _ _ _ _ 1. Set the function switch to range position. The meter automatically defaults to Frequency range. 2. Press the button for 3 seconds to select MODE the Frequency range. The meter automatically defaults to DC Volts. 3.
15. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT 1. Set the function switch to range position. Temp The meter automatically defaults to ºC range. 2. Insert the MT802 white temperature adaptor into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the “COM” terminal. Ensure that the “-” marking on the adaptor is inserted into the “COM”...
16. DIODE TEST 1. Set the function switch to range Ω position. MODE 2. Press the button to select the Diode Test range. The meter automatically defaults to Resistance. 3. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM”...
17. CONTINUITY TESTING 1. Set the function switch to range Ω position. MODE 2. Press the button to select the Continuity Test range. The meter automatically defaults to Resistance. 3. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω TEMP HZ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM”...
18. AUTO POWER OFF This feature automatically turns off the meter after approximately 20 minutes from the last measurement taken. To turn the on the meter, press any button or move the rotary switch to any position. Ensure te test leads are disconnected from any circuit to avoid injury or meter damage 19.
21. BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the “ “ sign appears on the LCD, this indicates the battery should be replaced. Use the following procedure to replace the standard 9V battery (IEC 6F 22) battery. 1. Disconnect the test leads from any live source and remove the leads from the input terminals.
