• When you change the measurement function, the meter will

regard its auto range as current range.

• In the auto range mode, the “AUTO” symbol will appear on

display and the manual range disappears. 

3. 

Enter or exit manual range mode

• Press the  

RANGE

button to select the manual range mode

and  the  “AUTO”  symbol  disappears.    Each  press  of  the

RANGE

button increases the range.  When the maximum

range is reached, the meter restarts at the lowest range.

• Press  and  hold  the   

RANGE

button  for  more  than  two

seconds  to  return  to  the  autorange  mode  and  the “AUTO”
symbol will appear on the display.

7. Making Measurements

Preparation

Checking the Battery Voltage

Rotate the Function Rotary Switch to any position away from the
OFF position.  The battery voltage is adequate when the indication
is clear and the       symbol is not on the display.

If the      symbol appears on the display, or nothing shows on the
display at all, follow the battery replacement procedure shown in
related items in this manual and replace with new batteries specified.

Measuring Voltage

Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points.
The polarity of AC (alternating current) voltage varies over time, while
the polarity of DC (direct current) voltage is constant.

Danger

To avoid the danger of electric shock, never make measurements
on a circuit over 600V AC/DC (electrical potential to ground 300V
DC/AC).    Do  not  operate  the  Function  Rotary  Switch  during
measurement.  Do not make a measurement when opening the
battery cover and the meter case.
