1. Before use, please check if there is any item which is damaged or behaving abnormally. If any
abnormal item (such as bare test lead, damaged meter casing, broken LCD, etc.) is found, or if
the meter is considered to be malfunctioning, please do not continue to use the meter.
2. Do not use the meter if the rear cover or the battery cover is not completely covered up, or it may
pose a shock hazard!
3. During measurement, keep fingers behind the finger guards of the test leads, and do not touch any
exposed wires, connectors, unused inputs or circuits being measured to prevent electric shock.
4. Place the function dial in the correct position before measurement.
5. Do not apply more than 1000V between any terminal and earth ground to prevent electric shock
and damage to the meter.
6. Use caution when working with voltages above AC 30Vrms, 42Vpeak or DC 60V. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
7. Never input voltage or current which exceeds the specified limit. If the range of the measured value
is unknown, the maximum range should be selected.
8. Before measuring resistance, diode, continuity, or capacitance, switch off the power supply of the
circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors.
9. When " " is displayed, please replace the batteries in time to ensure measurement accuracy. If
the meter is not in use for a long time, please remove the batteries.
10. Do not change the internal circuit of the meter to avoid damage to the meter or user!
11. Do not use or store the meter in high temperature, high humidity , flammable, explosive, or strong
magnetic field environments.
12.Clean the meter casing with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents!

VIII. Operating Instructions
1. AC/DC Voltage Measurement
1) Insert the red test lead into the "VΩ" terminal, and black test lead into the "COM" terminal.
2) Turn the function dial to the AC/DC voltage position, and connect the test leads to the measured
load or power supply in parallel.
Caution:
Do not input a voltage over 1000V, or it may damage the meter.
Be cautious to avoid electric shock when measuring high voltages.
When the measured voltage is ≥ AC 30V or DC 60V, the LCD will display "
measured voltage is ≥1000V, the meter will sound an alarm and the "
2. Resistance/Conductance Measurement
1) Insert the red test lead into the "VΩ" terminal, and black test lead into the "COM" terminal.
2) Turn the function dial to the "Ω"/"nS" position, and connect the test leads to both ends of the
measured resistance in parallel.
Caution:
If the measured resistor is open or the resistance exceeds the maximum range, the LCD will
display "OL".
Before measuring resistance, switch off the power supply of the circuit, and fully discharge all
capacitors.
If the resistance is not less than 0.5Ω when the test leads are shorted, please check if the test
leads are loose or abnormal.
3. Continuity Test
1) Insert the red test lead into the "VΩ" terminal, and black test lead into the "COM" terminal.
2) Turn the function dial to the " " position, and connect the test leads to both ends of the measured
load in parallel.
3) When measured resistance <10Ω, the circuit is in good conduction status and the buzzer beeps
continuously. When measured resistance ≥50Ω, the buzzer makes no sound.
Caution:
Before testing continuity, switch off the power supply of the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors.
4. Diode Test
1) Insert the red test lead into the "VΩ" terminal, and black test lead into the "COM" terminal. The
polarity of the red test lead is "+" and of the black test lead is "-".
2) Turn the function dial to the " " position, press the SELECT button to switch to diode test, and
connect the test leads to the positive and negative poles of the measured diode.
3) When 0.08V ≤ reading <1.2V, the buzzer beeps once indicating the normality of the diode.
When reading <0.08V, the buzzer beeps continuously indicating the damage of the diode. For
silicon PN junction, the normal value is generally about 500mV~800 mV.
Caution:
If the diode is open or its polarity is reversed, the LCD will display "OL".
Before testing the diode, switch off the power supply of the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors.
5. Capacitance Measurement
1) Insert the red test lead into the "VΩ" terminal, and black test lead into the "COM" terminal.
2) Turn the function dial to the capacitance position, and connect the test leads to both ends of the
measured capacitance in parallel. For capacitance ≤100nF, it is recommended to use the relative
value mode.
Caution:
If the measured capacitor is shorted or the capacitance exceeds the maximum range, the LCD will
display "OL".
When measuring capacitance >400μF, it may take some time to stabilize the reading.
Before measuring, fully discharge all capacitors (especially high-voltage capacitors) to avoid damage
to the meter and user.
6. Temperature Measurement
1) Insert the positive pole of the temperature probe into the "VΩ" terminal and negative pole into the
"COM" terminal.
2) Turn the function dial to the "°C°F" position, fix the temperature probe on the object under test, and
read the temperature value of the tested object directly from the display after a few seconds.
3) Press the SELECT button to switch between °C and °F.
Caution:
The ambient temperature of the meter should be within 18°C~28°C, otherwise it may cause
measurement error.
The positive and negative poles of the temperature probe should be properly connected. Do not
measure non-insulated charged objects to avoid incorrect readings.
7. AC/DC Current Measurement
1) Insert the red test lead into the "mAμA" or "A" terminal, and black test lead into the "COM" terminal.
2) Turn the function dial to the AC/DC current position, and connect the test leads to the measured
load or power supply in series.
Caution:
Switch off the power supply of the circuit, make sure the input terminals and dial position are correct,
and then connect the meter to the circuit in series.
If the range of the measured current is unknown, select the maximum range and then accordingly
reduce.
If the "mAμA" or "A" terminal is overloaded, the built-in fuse will be blown and must be replaced.
Do not connect the test leads to any circuit in parallel during current measurement to avoid damage
to the meter and user.
When the measured current is close to 20A, each measurement time should be <10s and the rest
interval should be >15 minutes.
8 Frequency Measurement .
1) Insert the red test lead to V terminal and the black one to the COM terminal .
2) Turn the function dial to the Hz position connect the test leads to the measured object. ,
Note:
The voltage of measured object shall be lower than 30V, or the accuracy will be affected.
9. Others
1) Auto Power Off
a. During measurement, if there is no operation of the function dial or any button for 15 minutes, the
meter will automatically shut down to save power. Users can wake it up by pressing any button
(except SEL) or turning the function dial.
b. To disable the auto-off function, press and hold the Max/Min button in the off state, and turn on the
meter. To recover the function, restart the meter.
