1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when
the meter is not in use.
2.If “OL” 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
