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.
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
“
DC
”
position(V== or V
DC-AC
).
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack.
