OPERATION Before taking any measurements, read the safety information section. Always examine the instrument for damage, contamination( excessive dirt, grease, etc) and defects. Examine the test leads for cracked or frayed insulation. If any abnormal conditions exist do not attempt to make any measurement. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 1.Connect the black test lead to COM jack and the red test lead to V: jack.
2. For current measurements less than 400mA , connect the red test leads to the mA jack and the black test lead to COM jack. 3. For current measurements over 400mA or greater, connect the red test leads to the 10A jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.

3. Connect the black test lead to COM jack and the red test lead to V: jack. 4. Touch the probes to the test points. In ohms, the value indicated in the display is the measured value of resistance. In continuity test, the beeper sounds continuously, if the resistance is less than 100:.
DIODE TEST WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it. 1. Connect the black test lead to COM jack and the red test lead to V: jack. 2. Set the function switch to the position.
FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT WARNING: To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor under test before measuring. 1. Set the Function/Range switch to the “Hz” position. 2. Connect the red test lead to the n V jack. and the black test lead to the COM jack. 3.

2. Connect the red test lead to the V jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. 3. Connect the red test lead to the test point and the black lead to the common buss of the logic circuit.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Remove test leads before changing battery or fuse or performing any servicing. BATTERY and FUSE replacement WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery door. 1. When the batteries become exhausted or drop below the operating voltage, the battery warning symbol will appear in the LCD display.
BATTERY INSTALLATION WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery cover. Do not operate the instrument with the battery cover removed 1. Disconnect the test leads from the meter. 2. Open the battery cover by loosening the screw using a Phillips head screwdriver.
