Making Measurements
When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device, connect the common (COM) test lead before connecting the live lead: when removing the test leads, remove the live lead before removing the common test lead![]()
- Do not measure the voltage higher than 600V, otherwise, the Meter may be damaged.
Pay attention when measuring high voltage to avoid electric shock or personal injury. - Before use, test the known voltage or current to confirm that the Meter is in good condition.
Turn on & Ready to use
- Long press for about 2 seconds the '
' button to turn on the Meter, '
' will be displayed on the screen, and the pointer will swing by itself, indicating the SMART mode.
- Insert the red probe into '
' jack and the black probe into the ' COM ' jack. - Touch the red test lead and the black test lead to check whether they are normal. The buzzer will beep and the indicator light will be on if normal.
SMART (AUTO) Measurement Mode
The Meter defaults to SMART mode. In the SMART mode, the Meter can test DC voltage, AC voltage, resistance, continuity, it selects the range with the best resolution automatically.
Smart Mode
Connect the test leads with both ends of the circuit or resistance(in parallel), the Meter
automatically selects measurement based on the input,

- The reading may take few seconds to be stable.
- Turn on & Ready to use
- Press the'«FUNC" button to " NCY * setting, ' NCV ' signal will be displayed on the screen.
- Place the NCV probe closer to the point to be tested gradually.
When the Meter detects a weak signal, the green indicator will light up, the buzzer will beep in a slow tone, and ' --L ' will be displayed on the screen.
![]()
When the Meter detects a strong signal, the red indicator will light up, the buzzer will beep in a fast tone, and ' --H " will be displayed on the screen.
![]()
Live Wire Detection
- Turn on & Ready to use
- Press the '
' button to '
' - Press the 'SEL' button to 'LIVE' mode.
- Insert the red probe into the '
' jack and remove the black probe. - Touch the object with the test lead point.
- When the indicator light lights up that means the measured position for the fire line, please be careful!
AC/DC Current Measurement
- Tum on & Ready to use
- Insert the red probe into the 'A' jack and the black probe into the 'COM' jack. The Meter will automatically adjust to the '
' gear. - '
' and 'mA' signal will be displayed on the screen, indicating DC current measurement. - Press the ' SEL ' button, 'mA' signal and '
' signal will be displayed on the screen, indicating AC current measurement.
Note:
- When measuring AC current, the frequency will be displayed, and when measuring DC current, the ambient temperature will be displayed on the screen.
- 'LEAD' signal will be displayed on the screen when the test leads are connected incorrectly, please insert the red test lead into 'A' Jack.
- The Meter will turn to the current testing when you insert the lead into 'A' Jack and 'COM' Jack. For safety, users cannot switch the functions.
- Do not measure current > 10 A in this gear, in case of the fuse burning.
