a. Turn the power on without clamping on to any wire.
b. Set the rotary switch at 3f.
c. Press the 3f button once. and only the 3f3W symbol

e. Insert the test leads into the input jack.
f.
Select one phase (eg. S or L2) as COM and connect
the test prod of the COM (black) terminal to that phase
(eg. S or L2).
g. Connect the test prod of V (red) terminal to the second
phase (eg. R or L1).
h. Clamp on to the same phase as in step g. (eg. R or L1).
