Measuring μA Current - See Figure 9 1. Set the Function Switch to and press the SELECT button for AC or DC is displayed. 2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM. 3. Turn OFF power to the circuit being measured and break the circuit for connecting test leads.
FEATURES HOLD / MAX The HOLD feature freezes the display when the button is pressed. The MAX feature compares and displays the measured maximum value as fast as 30ms with auto-ranging capability. HOLD Press the HOLD button momentarily toggles to hold mode for the ACA function. To release the HOLD feature momentarily press the HOLD button.
Refer to the LIMITED WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or service. Cleaning and Storage Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the battery and store separately.
