operation. 

3.  To  enable  or  disable  the  back  light  function,  press  and 

hold the 

HOLD

 button for 2 seconds. 

   

MAX/MIN BUTTON         

The meter displays the maximum or minimum value of input 
in the 

Max/Min

 mode. When 

Max/Min

 is pressed for the first 

time,  the  meter  displays  the  maximum  value.  The  meter 
displays  the  minimum  value  when 

MAX/MIN

  is  pressed 

again.  When 

Max/Min

  is  pressed  for  the  third  time,  the 

meter  displays  current  value.  The  meter  returns  to  normal 
operation  when 

Max/Min

  is  pressed  and  held  for  two 

seconds.  A  value  can  be  held  in  the  Max/Min  function  by 
pressing the 

HOLD

 button. 

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS 

CAUTION: 

  Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on 

the  circuit  is  being  switched  ON  or  OFF.  Large  voltage 
surges may occur that can damage the meter. 

1.  Set  the  function  dial  to  the 

V

  position,  the  meter  default 

mode is the DC mode. 

(“mV” will appear in the display). If 

the meter does not default to DC mode, press the 

MODE

 

button to select the DC mode. 

2. Insert the black test lead into the negative 

COM

 jack and 

the red test lead into the positive 

V

 jack. 

3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. Be sure 

to observe the correct polarity (red lead to positive,  black 
lead to negative). 

4.  Read  the  voltage  value  on  the  display.  The  display  will 

indicate the proper decimal point and value. If the polarity 
is  reversed,  the  display  will  show  a  minus
