To set or cancel the mode of data holding:   

1. Press “HOLD” key once, the current read value will 

be kept on display, and in the mean time the 

 

symbol will be displayed on LCD.   

2.  Press  “HOLD”  key  once  more  to  return  the  mode  of 

the meter to the normal measuring mode.   

 

3.1.2 Energy-saving function of the battery 

The meter will automatically turn off the power 30 minutes 

after  it  is  turned  on,  so  that  the  energy  of  the  battery  is 

saved.   

 

3.2 Instructions for measurement 

3.2.1 Measuring AC and DC voltages 

 

Do  not  measure  voltages  higher  than  DC  1000V 

or  AC  750V  (effective  value),  to  prevent  electric 

shock and/or damaging the meter. 

Do  not  apply  voltages  higher  than  DC  1000V  or 

AC  750V  (effective  value)  between  the  common 

terminal  and  earth  to  prevent  electric  shock 

and/or damaging the meter. 

 

Voltage is the difference of potentials between two points.   

The polarity of AC voltage changes with time, while that of 

DC voltage does not change. 

The  ranges  for  DC  voltage  of  this  meter  are:  200.0mV, 

2.000V,  20.00V,  200.0V,  and  1000V;  The  ranges  for  AC 

voltage are: 2.000V, 20.00V, 200.0V, and 750V.   

 

 

To measure AC or DC voltages: 

1. Switch the rotary switch to a proper position. 

2.  Connect  the  black  measuring  tip  and  the  red 

measuring  tip  to  the  input  socket  of  COM  and  the 

input socket of V, respectively.   

3. Measure the voltage of the circuit to be tested with the 

other  ends  of  the  test  tips  (which  are  in  parallel  with 

the circuit to be tested) 

4.  Read  the  measured  voltage  from  LCD.  When 

measuring  DC  voltages,  the  display  will  also  output 

the polarity of the voltage on the red measuring tip. 

Attention: 

  With  the  measuring  ranges  of  DC  200mV  and  AC  2V, 

the  meter  will  display  a  certain  value  even  though  the 

measuring tips are not connected. In this case, short out 

the  “V

”  and  “COM”  ends  for  a  second  to  make  the 

displayed value of the meter to zero.

Resistance  is  a  measure  of  the  impedance  related  with 

current. The unit of resistance is Ohm (

). 

The  ranges  for  resistance  of  the  meter  are:  200.0

2.000k

, 20.00k

, 200.0k

, 2.000M

, and 20.00M

.   

 

To measure resistance: 

1. Set the rotary switch at the proper position.
