Safety Information
A Warning statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions
that could cause bodily harm or death.
A Caution statement identifies conditions and actions that could
damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
follow these guidelines:
Use the Meter only as specified in this instruction sheet
or the protection provided by the Meter might be
impaired.
Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear
damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly.
Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range
for measurements.
Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known
voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
Meter, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes,
or capacitance.

Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or in
damp or wet environments.
When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers
behind the finger guards.
Only use test leads that have the same voltage,
category, and amperage ratings as the meter and that
have been approved by a safety agency.
Remove test leads from Meter before opening the
battery door or Meter case.
Comply with local and national safety requirements
when working in hazardous locations.
Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or
national authorities when working in hazardous areas.
Avoid working alone.
Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do
not use if the readings are high or noisy.

Battery Saver
(Sleep Mode)
If the Meter is ON, but inactive and not connected to voltage for
more than 20 minutes, the display goes blank to preserve battery
life. To resume operation, press any button or turn the rotary
switch. To disable the Sleep Mode, refer to the Power-Up
Options section.
Sleep Mode is always disabled in MIN/MAX record mode.
Backlight
Press to toggle the backlight on and off. The backlight
automatically turns off after 40 seconds. To disable backlight
auto-off, refer to the Power-Up Options section.
Display Hold
Warning
To avoid electric shock, when Display HOLD is
activated, be aware that the display will not change
when you apply a different voltage.
In the Display HOLD mode, the Meter freezes the digital display.
1. Press to activate Display HOLD. (is displayed.)
2. To exit and return to normal operation, press or turn the
rotary switch.

CHEK
If a dc or ac voltage greater than about 3 V is present across the inputs
when the meter is set to CHEK, the meter switches automatically to dc
or ac voltage mode and displays the voltage.
When CHEK is activated, the meter has low input impedance (LoZ)
3 k. This load can alter the voltages in electronic control circuits. Do
not use CHEK to measure voltage in circuits that could be damaged by
a 3 kload.
Note
CHEK can be effectively used to eliminate “ghost”
voltages.
AC and DC Voltage
Also refer to Chek.
