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 “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you 

have selected. Change to a higher range.  

AC/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. Rotate the function switch to the 

V

 position.

 

 

2. Press the 

SELECT

 button to display “

DC”

 or “

AC

” on the LCD 

3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative 

COM

 jack. 

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive 

V

 jack. 

4. 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. 

5. Read the voltage in the display.  

 
 
 
 
 
 

DC/AC MILLIVOLT MEASUREMENTS  

CAUTION: 

 Do not measure DC/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. 

Rotate the function switch to the 

mV DC-AC

 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. Press 

the 

SELECT

 button to select “

DC

” or “

AC

” millivolts. 

4. 

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. 

5. 

Read the voltage in the display.
