OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing reading.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage present. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Set the function switch to the Ω position. Use the FUNC button to select the resistance mode Ω. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative jack at the bottom of the meter.
DIODE TEST Set the function switch to the Ω position. Use the FUNC button to select the diode function Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (common) jack at the bottom of the meter. Carefully turn the test lead retracting nut (located at the top of the meter) clockwise to completely draw out the positive test lead probe.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the back cover or the battery cover. WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery cover is in place and fastened securely. This multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care instructions are performed: 1.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery cover. icon will appear when battery voltage is low. Turn the Function dial to the OFF position. Disconnect the negative (common) test lead from the meter. Fully retract the positive test lead probe.
