To ensure safe operation, and in order to exploit to the full the functionality of the meter, please
follow the directions in this section carefully.
1. SAFETY INFORMATION
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN THE USE OF THIS METER. Improper use of this device can result in
electric shock or destroy of the meter. Follow all safeguards suggested in this manual and the
normal safety precautions used in working with electrical circuits.
Do not service this device if you are not qualified to do so.
This meter has been designed according to IEC-1010 concerning electronic measuring instruments with an overvoltage
category CAT � 600V and pollution 2.
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure that the meter is used safely and is kept in good operating condition.
With proper use and care, the digital meter will give you years of satisfactory service.
Measurement category � is for measurements performed in the building installation. (Examples are measurements on
distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed
installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.)
1.1 PRELIMINARY
1.1.1 When using the meter, the user must observe all normal safety rules concerning:
- Protection against the dangers of electrical current.
- Protection of the meter against misuse.
1.1.2 When the meter is delivered, check that it has not been damaged in transit.
1.1.3 When poor condition under harsh preservation or shipping conditions caused, inspect and confirm this meter
without delay.
1.1.4 Test lead or test clip must be in good condition. Before using verify that the insulation on test lead or test clip is not
damaged and/or the leads wire is not exposed.
1.1.5 Full compliance with safety standards can be guaranteed only if used with test leads supplied.
If necessary, they must be replaced with the same model or same electric ratings.
1.2 DURING USE
1.2.1 Before using, you must select the right function and range.
1.2.2 Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in specifications for each range of measurement.
1.2.3 When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit, do not touch the probe tip of the meter and test lead (or test clip).
1.2.4 At the manual range, when the value scale to be measured is unknown beforehand, select the highest range.
1.2.5 Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the terminals exceeds 600V above earth ground.
1.2.6 Always be careful when working voltages above 60V DC or 30V AC rms, keep fingers behind the probe barrier while
measuring.
1.2.7 Never connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the transform switch is in the resistance, diode or
continuity mode. Doing so can damage the meter.
1.2.8 Never perform resistance, diode and continuity measurements on live circuits.
1.2.9 Before rotating the transform switch to change the function, disconnect the tip of meter and the probe
of the test lead (or test clip) from the circuit under test.
1.2.10 Never use the meter under the condition of the explosive air, steam or dirt.
1.2.11 If any faults or abnormalities are observed, the meter can not be used any more and it has to be checked out.
1.2.12 Never use the meter unless the rear case is in place and fastened fully.
1.2.13 Please do not store or use meter in areas exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, humidity or condensation.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
4.1 DATA HOLD
If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on “DATA -H” button, it will hold the reading; if you put the button again,
data hold is not continue.
4.2 MAXIMUM VALUE MEASURING AND HOLD
At the range of voltage, you can put on “MAX.H” button, it will hold the maximum value; if you put the button again, the
maximum value will not be held.
4.3 FUNCTION TRANSFORM
Put down the "FUNC." button when measuring the voltage. Meter will be transformed between DC and AC range.
Put "FUNC." button when measuring the resistance, diode and continuity, meter will transform among them.
4.4 RANGE TRANSFORM
The auto range is used when measuring the voltage and resistance. Put down the "RANGE" button if the manual range is
needed. Each time you put down, range will go upward; the minimum range is transformed if "RANGE" button is put down at
the maximum range. If the "RANGE" button is put down more than two seconds, auto range is used again.
4.5 AUTO POWER OFF
If there’s no any operation within fifteen minutes after power is on, meter will auto power off with five short sounds and a long
sound in a minute.
After auto power off, if stir the transform switch or put down any button of “FUNC.”, ”MAX.H”, ”RANGE”, meter will recover
the working condition.
If presses the “DATA -H” button when power is on, auto power off disable. In sleep mode, the auto power off function will be
cancelled if presses the “DATA -H” button to wake the meter.
4.6 PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
4.6.1 Set the transform switch to the right range. At the manual range, when the value scale to be measured is unknown
beforehand, select the highest range.
4.6.2 When measuring, at first, connect to the public (COM) testing line, then connect the probe tip of the meter to the circuit
under test.
4.6.3 If the battery voltage is less than 2.4V, display will show “
”, the battery should be changed at this time.
