1. SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual contains information that must be
followed for operating the meter safely and
maintaining the meter in a safe operating
condition. If the meter is not used in a manner
specified in this manual, the protection provided
by the meter may be impaired
The Model MT770 has been designed and
complies with IEC 61010-1 and EN 61010-1
Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring
Apparatus.
WARNING
! Read through the operating instructions
throughly and understand the instructions
before operating the meter.
! Keep the manual at hand so as to enable
quick reference when necessary
! Ensure that the use of the meter is in its
intended applications and follow
measurement procedures described in this
manual.
! Follow all safety and operating instructions to
ensure maximum personal safety during the
use and operation of the meter.
! Failure to follow the above instructions may
cause injury, instrument damage and/or
damage to equipment under test.
!The symbol indicated on the meter means that
the user must refer to related parts in the
manual for safe operation of the meter. Be
sure to carefully read the instructions following
each symbol in this manual.
DANGER is reserved for conditions and
actions that are likely to cause serious or fatal
injury
WARNING is reserved for conditions and
actions that are likely to cause serious or fatal
injury
CAUTION is reserved for conditions and
actions that are likely to cause minor injury or
!

DANGER
! Never use the meter to measure voltages on a
circuit above the maximum allowable input
value on any function.
! Do not exceed the maximum allowable input
of any measurement range.
! Never touch exposed wiring, connections or
any live circuit when attempting to take
measurements.
! Do not attempt to make measurements in
flammable gaseous areas, fumes, vapor or
dust. The use of the instrument in these areas
may cause sparking , which can lead to an
explosion.
! Do not attempt to use the instrument if its
surface or your hand is wet
! Never open the battery compartment cover
when making measurements.
WARNING
! Always inspect the meter and test leads for
any signs of damage or abnormality before
use. If the meter or its accessories have any
structural defects such as broken test leads,
cracked cases, exposed metal parts or the
display is not reading, do not attempt to make
measurements.
! Do not turn the function switch whilst test
leads are connected to the meter.
! Do not install substitute parts or make
modifications to the meter. Return the meter
to your distributor for repair or re-calibration.
! Ensure the meter is switch off before opening
the battery cover when replacing the battery.
! Never replace a battery if the surface of the
meter is wet or moist.

CAUTION
! Before making measurements ensure that the
function selector switch is set on the
appropriate range position.
! Always make sure that the plug of each test
lead is inserted fully into the appropriate
terminal of the meter.
! Ensure that the function selector switch is set
to the “OFF” position after use. When the
meter will not be in use for a long period of
time, place it in storage after removing the
battery.
! Do not expose the meter to direct sunlight,
extreme temperatures or moisture.
! Do not use abrasives or solvents on the meter.
To clean it use a damp cloth and mild
detergent only.
Qualified and trained service technicians should
only perform calibration and repair of the meter.

5. AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are
disconnected from the meter before making
current measurements.
1. Set the function switch to or or
range position, and make sure that the
current under test does not exceed the upper
limit of the measuring range you have
selected.
2. Press the trigger to open up the transformer
jaws and clamp around the single conductor
under test.
3. Read the display.
Note: • During current measurements keep the
transformer jaws fully closed, otherwise
this will affect the accuracy of the
measurement.
• When large currents the transformer
jaws may buzz. This is not a fault and
does not affect the accuracy of the
reading.

6. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1. Set the function switch to range
position. The meter automatically defaults to
DC Volts.
2. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω ºC ºF HZ”
input terminal and the black lead to the “COM”
terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the test leads to the
circuit under test.
4. Read the display. If a “-” sign is displayed, the
red lead is the negative potential.
Note: • The meter is set to default to “Auto
Range” mode.
• Pressing the button transforms
the meter into a ‘Manual Range” mode.
This means that the user will have to
depress this button to select the correct
range for the voltage being measured.
• In order to return back to the “Auto
Range” mode, hold down the
button for 3 seconds.

2. Press the ” button to select the AC Volt
range. The meter automatically defaults to DC
Volts.
3. Insert the red test lead into the “V Ω ºC ºF HZ”
input terminal and the black lead to the “COM”
terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the test leads to the
circuit under test. Take the reading on the
display.
Note: • The meter is set to default to “Auto

• Pressing the button transforms
the meter into a ‘Manual Range” mode.
This means that the user will have to
depress this button to select the correct
range for the voltage being measured.
• In order to return back to the “Auto
