1. BATTERY INSTALLATION WARNING To avoid electric shock disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery door 1 Disconnect the test leads from the meter 2 Open the battery door by lifting the rear stand and removing the two screws using a Phillips head screwdriver 3 Insert the battery into battery holder observing the correct polarity 4 Put the battery door back in place Secure with the two screws WARNING To avoid electric shock do not operate the meter until the battery door is in place and fastened securely NOTE If your meter does not work properly check the fuses and battery to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 ALWAYS press the POWER 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 DATA HOLD The Data Hold function allows the meter to freeze a measurement for later reference 1 Press the DATA HOLD button to freeze the reading on the indicator The indicator J will be appea2. 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 1 Set the function switch to the highest V AC position 2 Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack Insert 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 AC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value 11 DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS 1 Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack 2 For current measurements up to 200mA DC set the function switch to the highest DC mA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the mA jack 3 For current measurements up to 10A DC set the function switch to the 10A range and insert the red test lead banana plug
