Cleaning
To clean the meter, use a soft cloth moistened with water. Using benzene, alcohol,
acetone, ether, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, ketone or other solvents may deform
or discolor the meter and its display.
Troubleshooting

1.
Review the operating instructions to ensure the meter is being used properly.
2.
Inspect and test the continuity of the test leads.
3.
Make sure the battery is in good condition. The low battery symbol

appears
when the battery falls below the level where accuracy is guaranteed. Replace a
low-battery immediately.
4.
Check the condition of the fuses if the current ranges operate incorrectly.
