Note: In case the meter is not used In accordance with the
operating lnstructions, lhe protection provided by lhe meter may be
weakened or lost.
1.Before use, please check if lhere is any item which is damaged or
behaving abnormally. lf any abnormal ltem (such as bare lest lead,
damaged meter casing, broken LCD, etc.) is found, or if lhe meter
1s considered to be malfunctionlng, please do not use lhe meter.
2.Do not use lhe meler if the rear cover or lhe battery oover is not
covered up, or it will pose a shock hazardl
3.When using the meter, keep fingers behind lhe finger guards of lhe
lest leads, and do not tauch exposed wires, connectors, unused
inputs, or circuits belng measured to prevent electric shock.
4.The runclion switch should be placed in lhe correct posilion before
measuremenl. lt is rorbidden to change lhe posilion during
measurement to avoid damage to the matert
5.Do not apply voltage over 600V between any meter terminal and
earlh ground to prevent electric shock or damage to lhe meter.
6. Be caulious when lhe measured voltage is higher than 60V (DC)
or 30Vrms (AC) to avold electric shockl
7 .Never Input voltage or current which exceeds lhe specilied limil. lf
lhe range of the measured value ls unknown, the maximum range
should be selected.
B.Before rneasuring lhe reslstance, diode and conlinulty online, switch
ofl lhe power supply of the circult, and fully discharge all capacitors
to
avoid inaccurate measuremenl

• Ta ensure measurement accuracy, center the conductor in lhe jaws.
Otherwise, ±1.0o/o additional error in readlng will be produced.
• When the measured current ls 2:400A, the meter will
automatlcally sound an alarm and the high voltage alarm prompt
•&.•will automalically flash.
• lf lhe LCD displays "OL •, lt lndicates that the current is over range
and lhere is a danger of damage to \he meter.
