4. Operating instruction
4.1 Data hold

If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on 
“H-D”; it will hold the reading; if you put the button again, 
data hold is not continue.

4.2 Relative transform

Put down the "REL." when measuring the AC voltage 
range, DC voltage range, and capacitance range. Meter 
will be transformed at relative measuring, the initial 
display will show ”000”. Press the "REL" again, meter 
will recover the normal working condition.

4.3 Hz/duty transform

 

Put down the "H/D." when measuring the Hz range. 
Meter will be transformed at DUTY range. Press the 
"H/D" again, meter will recover the Hz range.
When measuring the voltage range, put down the "H/D" 
and change to the Hz range. The frequency of the signal 
for the voltage is measured now. 
Press the "H/D" again and change to the DUTY range. 
The DUTY CYCLE of the signal for the voltage is 
measured now. Press the "H/D" again, meter will be 
back to the condition of the voltage measuring. The 
range of voltage is locked under this condition. The 
locking condition can be cancelled by rotating the 
transform switch.

4.4 Auto power off

If no operation within fifteen minutes after power is on, 
meter will auto power off with five short sounds and one 
long.  
After auto power off, if stir the transform switch or put 

down any button of  "H-D”, “REL”, “H/D”, meter will 
recover the working condition. 

4.5 Preparation for measurement

4.5.1 Stir the transform switch. If the battery voltage is 
less than 2.4V, display will show “      ”, the battery 
should be changed at this time. 
4.5.2 The “      ” besides the input lead shows that the 
input voltage or current should be less than specification 
on the sticker of the meter to protect the inner circuit 
from damaging. 
4.5.3 Select a transform switch accordingly for the item 
to be measured. 

4.6 Measuring ac voltage

4.6.1 Set the transform switch at the AC V range position.
4.6.2 Connect test leads across the source or load under 
measurement.
4.6.3 You can get reading from LCD. 

NOTE:

1. “      ” means you can’t input the voltage which more 
than 600V DC or 600V rms AC, it’s possible to show 
higher voltage, but it’s may destroy the inner circuit.
2. Pay attention not to get an electric shock when 
measuring high voltage.

4.7 Measuring dc voltage

4.7.1 Set the transform switch at the DC V range position.
4.7.2 Connect test leads across the source or load under 
measurement.
4.7.3 You can get reading from LCD. The polarity of the 
red lead connection will be indicated along with the 
voltage value.
