Your RadioShack Clamp-On AC Am-
meter with Detachable Multimeter is
designed with a precision meter
movement to avoid mechanical shock
damage. Your portable, compact mul-
timeter is ideal for field, lab, shop,
bench, and home applications. The
multimeter measures DC and AC cur-
rent, DC and AC voltage, and resis-
tance.
Important:
• This multimeter is designed for
indoor use only.
• Completely read this manual
before you use the multimeter.
• If you are not familiar with multi-
meters and testing procedures,
we suggest you read the book
