 Resistance

1. Set the dial to    position.

2. Connect the red test lead to the 

VΩ  terminal  and  the  black  test 

lead to the COM terminal.

  Confirm “OL” is indicated on the 

display,  and  then  touch  the  tips 

of the test leads together to short 

circuit  them  to  confirm  the  zero 

indication and to ensure the meter 

is working normally.

3. Connect the test leads to 

both  ends  of  the  resistor 

under test.

4. The reading is displayed. 

 cauTion 

After shorting the test leads, 

the displayed value may not be zero due to the 

resistance of test leads themselves.

 Continuity

1. Set the dial to   position. 

2. Connect  the  red  test  lead 

to  the  VΩ  terminal  and  the 

black  test  lead  to  the  COM 

terminal. 

  Confirm “OL” is indicated on 

the  display,  and  then  touch 

the  tips  of  the  test  leads 

together to short circuit them 

to confirm the zero indication 

(may not be zero due to the 

resistance  of  the  test  leads 

themselves)  with  a  buzzer 

sound to ensure the meter is 

working normally.

3. Connect the test leads to  

both  ends  of  the  conductor 

under test. If the resistance under test is 30 Ω 

or less, the buzzer will sound.

 Capacitance

1. Set the dial to 

 

position. 

2. Connect the red test lead to the 

VΩ terminal and the black test 

lead to the COM terminal.

3. Discharge capacitor. 

4. Connect  the  test  leads  to  

both ends of the capacitor under 

test.

5. The reading is displayed.

 AC Current

 danger 

To reduce the risk of 

electric shock for Resistance, Continuity, 

and  Capacitance  measurements,  never  use 

the Digital Multimeter on an energized circuit. 

Make  sure  a  capacitor  is  fully  discharged 

before  touching  or  attempting  to  make  a 

measurement.

Do not use with the battery cover removed.

Hz 

Frequency 

1. Set the dial to 

Hz

 position. 

2. Connect the red test lead to the 

VΩ terminal and the black test 

lead to the COM terminal.

3. Connect  the  test  leads  to  the 

circuit under test. The reading 

is displayed.

Resistance/Continuity/Capacitance 

Measurements

 danger 

To avoid electrical shock:

Never make measurement on a circuit in 

which voltage over 600 volts AC exists.

Do not use with the battery cover removed.

Keep  fingers  behind  the  guards  and  away 

from test lead tips during measurements.

1. Set the dial to   position. 

2. Connect the red test lead to the A terminal and 

the black test lead to the COM terminal.

3. Turn circuit power off, disconnect 

the circuit, connect the test leads 

in  series  with  the  circuit  under 

test, and then turn circuit power 

on. The reading is displayed.
