2.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATION Understand the words DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol DANGER - Identifies the most serious hazards, which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING - Signifies hazards that could result in potential damage to the instrument.

If the value to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measurement range and reduce the range gradually until a satisfactory reading is obtained. Do not use or store the Multimeter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, explosive, flammable gas or strong magnetic field. Do not use the meter if it is wet.

CAUTION The current consumption in LIGHT mode is high & can reduce the battery life. Use only when needed. 5.1.4 REL. 1. The function is available only under the Manual Measurement Mode. The system will save the displayed value in the memory as reference value and will subtract it from new measured reading.
6.0 MAKING MEASUREMENT WARNING To avoid possible electric shock, instrument damage and/or equipment damage, do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 1000V DC / 750V AC, although readings may be obtained. Be careful not to touch any energized conductors with any part of your body. 6.1 AC Voltage Measurement Understanding AC Zero Input Behavior of Trms Meters Unlike averaging meters, which can accurately measure only pure sine...

6.2 DC Voltage Measurement Note: When range is selected and the test leads are open it shows some count on display this is because of high input impedance of meter which does not affect the specified accuracy To measure DC Voltage, connect the Multimeter as follows: 1.
Page 18
Note: When range is selected and the test leads are open it may show overload indication on display & Buzzer beeps, this is because of high input impedance of meter which does not affect the specified accuracy. 6.4 RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT To measure resistance, connect the meter as follows: 1.
2. Set the rotary switch to ‘ ’ range to measure continuity. 3. Press Select button till Symbol appears on the LCD. 4. The buzzer sounds, if the resistance of the circuit under test is less than approx. DIODE MEASUREMENT WARNING To avoid damages to the Multimeter or to the device under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before testing diode.

WARNING Never apply current more than the specified limit else, the protection fuse may blow. 6.7 CURRENT MEASUREMENT in ‘AMP’: WARNING Ensure that open circuit voltage is less than 250V AC/DC otherwise Multimeter is likely to be damaged. For current measurement in ‘A’, connect the Multimeter as follows: 1.
