Line up the meter blades to the socket jaws and rock the meter into place. Make sure
that the meter is in the upright position.

The LCD has two pulse arrows. The arrow pointing to the left indicates energy received; the arrow
pointing to the right indicates energy delivered. For more information, see the technical manual for
your meter.
