Set RANGE Switch to an appropriate measurement range. When measuring uncertain voltage or current, firstly set the switch to the highest range enabling to measure an approximate value. Then, change the switch to an appropriate range.

Place the pointer right side of the meter scale (between the center and the maximum scale).

4-3. Meter Mirror (How to see the pointer)

The mirror to help the c orrect reading avoiding the readin g err or. Re ad th e meter scale from the pos ition that the meter point er a nd i ts i mage in the mirror o verlap each other. Thi s position is directly above the m eter pointe r. Meter scale must be read viewing the pointer from directly abov e, but the clearanc e between the po inter and the me ter scale often causes readin g error if the point of view is moved off t o the side.

Before starting the measurement, confirm that the RANGE Switch is set to the correct position. Do not measure any voltage except in the DC.V and AC.V ranges to avoid electric shock hazard and serious damage to the instrument. To avoid electric shock hazard or serious damage to the instrument, detach test leads from the measuring circuit before changing RANGE Switch to another position.
