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.

2. If 1 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 connected 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.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF.

Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the highest V DC ( ) position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.

3. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.

Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

4. Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to successively

lower V DC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading. If the polarity is

reversed, the display will show (-) minus before the value.

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 on it. Make sure the

probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is

present.

CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF.

Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.
