3.1.2 Set the rotary switch at the desired "V' range position and connect test leads across the source or
load under measurement.
3.1.3 Put down the "AC/DC" when measuring the voltage. Meter will be transformed between DC and
AC range.
3.1.4 If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on "HOLD", it will hold the reading; if you put
the button again, data hold will not continue.
3.1.5 When only the figure"1 "is displayed, it indicates over range situation and the higher range has to
be selected.

3.2 MEASURING CURRENT

3.2.1 Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the A jack for a maximum of
200mA. For a maximum of 10A, move the red lead to the 10A jack.
3.2.2 Set the rotary switch at desired "A" range position and connects test leads in series with the load
under measurement.
3.2.3 Put down the "AC/DC" when measuring the current. Meter will be transformed between DC and
AC range.
3.2.4 If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on "HOLD", it will hold the reading; if you put
the button again, data hold will not continue.
3.2.5 When only the figure"1"is displayed, it indicates over range situation and the higher range has to
be selected.
3.3 TESTING DIODE/CONTINUITY
3.3.1 Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the V/ Ω jack. (NOTE: The
polarity of red lead connection is positive" + ")
3.3.2 Set the rotary switch at
position and connect the red lead to the anode, the black lead to the
cathode of the diode under testing. The meter will show the approx. Forward voltage drop of the diode.
If the lead connection is reversed, only figure"1"will be displayed. If continuity exists (i.e., resistance less
than about 70Ω), built - in buzzer will sound.
