4 Operation
1)
Caution labels
in eight languages are supplied with the
meter. Attach the corresponding label in your language
(see figure on the right) to the field provided on the
housing cover on the rear side of the meter!
2) To switch on the meter, set the selector switch (4) from
the position “OFF” to the desired function. An indication
will appear on the display (1). If the display remains
dark or if the symbol
appears, insert a new battery
chapter 6.
3) To provide a more comfortable reading position, unfold the tilt stand on
the rear side of the meter.
4) Always switch off the meter after operation (set the selector switch to
“OFF”) to prevent unnecessary battery consumption. If the meter is
not used for a longer period, it is recommended to remove the battery
to prevent any damage due to battery leakage.
4.1 Connecting the test leads
The meter is provided with three test jacks:
1. The jack “COM” (7) in the middle is the common (-) jack for all meas-
urements. Connect the black test lead to this jack.
2. The jack “V Ω mA” (6) on the right is the common (+) jack for all meas-
urements, except for measuring currents exceeding 200 mA. Connect
the red test lead to this jack.
3. For measuring currents exceeding 200 mA, connect the red test lead
to the jack “10A” (5) on the left.
For measuring, remove the protective caps from the test tips and replace
them after use.
