Operating Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC,
are very dangerous and should be measured with great care.
1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is
not in use. This meter has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the meter
OFF if 15 minutes elapse between uses.
2. If "OL" appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds
the range you have selected. Change to a higher range.
NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not con-
nected to a device, the display may show a random, changing reading. This
is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilize
and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit.

Autoranging/Manual Range Selection

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. This
automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made and is
generally the best mode for most measurements. For measurement situations
requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following:
1. Press the RANGE key. The "AUTO" display indicator will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE key to step through the available ranges until you
select the range you want.
3. To exit Manual Ranging, press and hold RANGE key for 2 seconds.
NOTE: Manual ranging does not apply for Capacitance, Frequency functions.
