- Insert the red lead into the mA µA or 10A terminal. Plug the black test lead into the COM terminal.
- Connect the two measuring probes in series to the object that you want to measure (e.g. battery or circuit). The
electrical circuit must be disconnected before you connect the probes.
- Reconnect the circuit. The measurement will appear on the display.
- After measuring, disconnect the circuit and remove the test leads from the measured object. Switch off the DMM.
