OPERATION 

WARNING

: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, 

both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be 
measured with great care.    Follow all applicable safety 
practices and procedures at all times. 

1.  ALWAYS turn the function dial to the OFF position when 

the meter is not in use. This meter has an 

Auto Power 

Off

  function  that  automatically  shuts  the  meter  OFF 

after 15 minutes of inactivity. 

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.
