Function Buttons
The meter beeps once for every valid key-press, and beeps
twice for every invalid key-press.
Backlight Button
• The light button is used to turn the backlight on or off.
~ Hz Button
• Pressing the ~Hz button in AC voltage or current mode
enters frequency counter mode with automatic range
selection.
• Pressing range switch in VAHz mode also changes the full
scale range of the original voltage or current mode after
VAHz mode is cancelled.
Peak Hold Button
• The peak hold button toggles the peak hold function on or
off.
•
The precision of peak hold measurement can be enhanced
by calibration.
• Peak hold can be calibrated by pressing the peak hold but-
ton for > 2 seconds. “caL will be shown on the main dis-
play.
• Press the peak hold button to toggle between PMAX and
PMIN.
• Press peak hold for > 2 seconds to escape the peak hold
measurement.
Range Button
• Pressing the range button changes the unit to manual
ranging and toggles between the ranges of the measure-
ment function.
• Pressing the range button for > 2 seconds returns the unit
to auto ranging.
Blue Button
• The blue button toggles between the black and blue func-
tions on the dial.

WARNING!
1. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THESE
RATINGS:
- Voltage is not to exceed 1000 Volts.
- Resistance, Capacitance, Logic and Continuity func-
tions are not to be performed on circuits capable of deliv-
ering greater than 600 Volts.
- Current measurements are not to be performed on cir-
cuits capable of delivering greater than 500 Volts
2. To avoid electrical shock hazards and/or damage to the
meter:
- Do not exceed the voltage ratings for the meter. Use
caution when measuring voltage.
- Do not use during electrical storms. AC power sources
with inductive loads or electrical storms may result in high
voltage. High energy transients can damage meter and
present a dangerous shock hazard.
- Turn off power to the circuit or device being measured
before taking resistance and capacitance measurements.
Fully discharge all capacitors before measuring.
3. Ensure meter is in proper working order before using.
Visually inspect meter for damage. Performing a continu-
ity 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 measure-
ments. 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 insu-
lating material. 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. Before breaking a circuit for testing, turn off the power to
the circuit. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect
the hot lead first, then the common lead.
8. Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning off
any indicator, including motors, transformers, and sole-
noids.
