Read First: Safety Information
To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow these instructions:
• Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads appear damaged, or if
you suspect that the meter is not operating properly.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test
lead.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.
• Do not use the V•Check
mode to measure voltages in circuits that
could be damaged by this mode’s low input impedance
(≅2 kΩ).
• Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, desolderi ng, or
breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
• Do not apply more than 600V rms between a meter terminal and earth
ground.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60V dc or 30V ac rms.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

Battery Saver
If the meter is ON but inactive and not connected to voltage for more than
45 minutes, the display goes blank to preserve battery life. To resume
operation, press any button.
Battery Saver is disabled in MIN/MAX record mode.

Check
If a dc or ac voltage greater than about 4.5V is present across the inputs
when the meter is set to
R, G, or e, the meter switches automatically
to dc or ac voltage mode (V•Check mode).
W Warning
Repetitive transients on a dc bus will cause V•Check to
select ac volts, even though a hazardous dc voltage may
be present. To avoid a misleading display and possible
electric shock, manually select the proper volts function
for measurements on these circuits.
When V•Check is activated, the meter has low input impedance (LoZ)
≅2 kΩ. This load can alter the voltages in electronic control circuits. Do
not use V•Check to measure voltage in circuits that could be damaged by
a 2 kΩ load.
Hint: V•Check can be effectively used to eliminate “ghost” voltages.

Note correct connector polarity.
To meet stated accuracy, the 80AK temperature adapter must be at the
same temperature as the meter. In addition, the 80AK and the 80PK-1
should be cleaned and lubricated regularly. Use any petroleum based
lubricant.
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock, DO NOT apply
thermocouple tip to any conductor that is greater than
30V AC, 42.4V pk, or 60V DC to earth.
