1.Before use, please check if there is any item which is damaged or
behaving abnormally. If any abnormal item (such as bare test lead,
damaged meter casing, broken LCD, etc.) is found, or if the meter
is considered to be malfunctioning, please do not use the meter.
2.Do not use the meter if the rear cover or the battery cover is not
covered up, or it will pose a shock hazard!
3.When using the meter, keep fingers behind the finger guards of the
test leads, and do not touch exposed wires, connectors, unused
inputs, or circuits being measured to prevent electric shock.
4.The function switch should be placed in the correct position before
measurement. It is forbidden to change the position during
measurement to avoid damage to the meter!
5.Do not apply voltage over 600V between any meter terminal and
earth ground to prevent electric shock or damage to the meter.
6. Be cautious when the measured voltage is higher than 60V (DC)
or 30Vrms (AC) to avoid electric shock!
7.Never input voltage or current which exceeds the specified limit. If
the range of the measured value is unknown, the maximum range
should be selected.
8.Before measuring the resistance, diode and continuity online, switch
off the power supply of the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors
to avoid inaccurate measurement.

In the composite function position, press this button to switch between the
corresponding measurement functions; in the AC/DC/Hz position (UT202+/
), short press this button to switch between the AC and DC
functions, and long press (about 2s) this button to enter/exit the Hz
measurement function.
In the NCV/LIVE position ( only), short press this button to switch
between the EFHI and EFLo ranges, and long press (about 2s) this button
to enter/exit the LIVE measurement function.
2.HOLD/BACKLIGHT Button
Short press this button to enter/exit the data hold mode, and long press
(about 2s) this button to turn on/off the backlight (the backlight will

Note:
• The current measurement must be taken within 0°C~40°C. Do not
suddenly release the trigger, as the impact will change the reading
for a short time.
• To ensure measurement accuracy, center the conductor in the jaws.
Otherwise, ±1.0% additional error in reading will be produced.
• When the measured current is
≥
400A (UT201+/UT202+)/ 600A
≥
(), the meter will automatically sound an alarm and the
high voltage alarm prompt “ ” will automatically flash.
• If the LCD displays “OL”, it indicates that the current is over range
and there is a danger of damage to the meter.
Note:
• If the diode is open or its polarity is reversed, the LCD will display
“OL”.
• Before measuring the diode online, switch off the power supply of
the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors.
• Do not input voltage higher than 30V to avoid personal injury.
