2 Getting Started

2.1 Using the Digital Multimeter

With no signal present, set the rotary switch to the desired measurement function. Ensure proper insertion of the test leads so they correspond with the type of measurement you wish to perform, see the following instructions to understand the proper lead configuration for each measurement type.

2.2 DC and AC Voltage Measurements

Turn the rotary switch to the corresponding symbol for the measurement you would like to perform.
Follow these steps to make a measurement.
1. Connect the negative (-) side with the black test lead to
the COM input.

2.11 Auto Power Off

Auto power off occurs approximately after 30 minutes when there has been no interaction with the meters knobs or buttons. If an auto power off event occurs, change the position of the rotary knob to turn the meter back on again. To disable the auto power off feature, press and hold the MAX/MIN button while rotating the rotary switch from off to any position. When the auto power off feature is disabled, the LCD will no longer display the APO annunciator on the left side of the display.
