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. AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current measurements. 1. Set the function switch to 200A 600A range position, and make sure that the current under test does not exceed the upper limit of the measuring range you have selected.
__ __ _ _ _ _ 7. 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 ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM” terminal.
8. AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 1. Set the function switch to range position. 2. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM” terminal. 4. Connect the other end of the test leads to the circuit under test.
9. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT 1. Set the function switch to range Ù position. 2. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω ” 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.
10. DIODE TEST 1. Set the function switch to range position. 2. Press the button to select the Diode Test range. The meter automatically defaults to Diode Test range. 3. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM”...
11. CONTINUITY TESTING 1. Set the function switch to range position. 2. Press the button to select the Continuity Test range. The meter automatically defaults to Diode Test. 3. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω ” input terminal and the black lead to the “COM” terminal.
12. 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.
15. BATTERY REPLACEMENT When the “ BAT “ sign appears on the LCD, this indicates the battery should be replaced. Use the following procedure to replace the two standard “AAA” 1.5V batteries (IEC LR 3) batteries. 1. Disconnect the test leads from any live source and remove the leads from the input terminals.
