they are properly inserted. 

DATA HOLD BUTTON 

The  Data  Hold  function  allows  the  meter  to  "freeze"  a 
measurement for later reference.

 

1. 

Press the DATA HOLD button to “freeze” the reading on 

the indicator. The indicator “HOLD” will be appear in the 
display. 

2.  Press  the  DATA  HOLD  button  to  return  to  normal 

operation. 

BACK LIGHT BUTTON 

1.  The  BACK  LIGHT  button  is  used  to  turn  the  back  light 

on  or  off.  Press  the  BACK  LIGHT  BUTTON  to  turn  the 
back light on. 

2.  Press the BACK LIGHT BUTTON to turn the back light 

off. 

 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

1.  ALWAYS  turn  the  function  switch  to  the  OFF  position 

when the meter is not in use. 

2. 

If  “OL”  appears  in  the  display  during  a  measurement, 
the  value  exceeds  the  range  you  have  selected. 
Change to a higher range.   

NOTE

:  On  some  low  AC  and  DC  voltage  ranges,  with  the 

test leads not connected to a device, the display may show 
a  random,  changing  reading.  This  is  normal  and  is  caused 
by  the  high-input  sensitivity.  The  reading  will  stabilize  and 
give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit. 

 

WARNING

:  Risk  of  electrocution.  High-voltage 

circuits,  both  AC  and  DC,  are  very  dangerous 
and should be measured with great care.
