Before First Use • When setting up the multimeter, connect the black test lead before connecting the red test lead. To disconnect, take out the red test lead before removing the black test lead. • Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal parts.
Operation Voltage Measurement ii. AC or DC Measurement 1. Insert the black test lead into the COM red test lead terminal, and the into the WARNING terminal. 2. Turn the rotary dial to DO NOT measure voltages higher than 600V. Doing so may result in electric Note: The default function is DC.
Resistance Testing • If the resistance reading with the WARNING connected test leads is not ≤ 0.5Ω, check if the leads are loose or damaged. To avoid damaging the multimeter or • The maximum resistance rating for the the object being measured, ALWAYS multimeter is 200MΩ.
Continuity Testing Diode Testing WARNING WARNING To avoid damaging the multimeter or To avoid damaging the multimeter or the object being measured, ALWAYS the object being measured, ALWAYS disconnect the circuit power and disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing for continuity.
Capacitance Testing Connect the test leads to the capacitor. WARNING The negative end is often marked on the side of the capacitor. Hold the test leads A capacitor stores an electrical charge until the reading on the display stabilizes. and may still be energized after being removed.
DC and AC Current Measurement Series WARNING • Before measuring current, ALWAYS make sure the power supply for the circuit has been switched off. Check if the leads are connected to the correct input terminals and that the rotary switch has been turned to the correct measurement range.

Checking the Fuses 10A Fuse Always check the 10A fuse before each use, especially before measuring current. If the internal fuse is overloaded, you must immediately replace it. Plug the red test lead into the 1.5V AAA battery terminal. Turn the rotary dial to Insert the metal end of the red test lead into the...
Replacing the Fuses WARNING To avoid electrical shock, arc blasts, arc flashes, personal injury, or damage to the multimeter, use the specified fuses ONLY in accordance with the following procedure. Disconnect the test leads from the multimeter and turn the rotary switch to Carefully remove the rubber case from the multimeter.
