When measuring current exceeding 2A, do not measure 
for longer than 2 minutes continuously.Wait 10 minutes 
to continue measurement.

• Hold down the NCV button and move the NCV sensor 
  at the top of the unit next to the object being tested.
• When voltage is detected (>110V AC rms) the buzzer 
  will sound and the NCV indicator will flash.
