How to Get Started 

If familiar with the Fluke 80 Series DMM, read “Using the 
Current Output Functions,” review the tables and figures in 
“Getting Acquainted with the Meter,” and begin using the 
meter. 

If unfamiliar with Fluke 80 Series DMMs, or DMMs in 
general, read “Measuring Electrical Parameters” in 
addition to the sections referenced in the previous 
paragraph. 

The sections following “Using the Current Output 
Functions” contain information about the power-up options, 
and battery and fuse replacement instructions. 

Later, use the Product Overview to refresh your memory 
about the various functions and features that can be used.
