Lead Storage
Silicone test leads are provided with the meter. These test
leads stay flexible in very cold weather and can withstand high
temperatures without melting. For convenient lead storage,
wrap the leads as shown.

3. Ensure meter is in proper working order before using.
Visually inspect meter for damage. Performing a continuity
check can verify proper operation. If the meter reading goes
from overload to zero, this typically means the meter is in
proper working order.
4. Visually inspect leads for damage before using. Replace if
insulation is damaged or leads appear suspect.
5. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures etc.
Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing,
rubber shoes, mats, or any other approved insulating mater-
ial. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes. Work with others.
6. Before beginning all unknown measurements, set meter to
highest possible range.
7. Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning off any
inductor, including motors, transformers, and solenoids.
8. Clean the exterior with clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid.
General Operation
Auto power off
To extend the life of your battery, the meter automatically turns
off after approximately 60 minutes.
Selecting Ranges
For all ranges and functions choose a range just above the
expected value. If display reads “OL” (overrange), select a
higher range. If display shows less than three numbers, select
a lower range for better resolution.
Accuracy Specifications
Accuracy specifications are based on nominal operating tem-
perature of 74°F ±8°, and a relative humidity less than 75%.
Accuracy is specified as ± (% of reading + number of least
significant digits).
