WARNI
NGS
•
Set function sw
itch to the appropr
iate position before measuring.
• When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.
•
When changing ranges using the s elector sw
itch always disconnect the test leads from the
circuit under test.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.
CAUTIONS
Improper use of this meter can cause damage, sh ock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the
meter itself for any
damage before operating the
meter. R
epair or replace any
damage before use.
Use great care w
hen making measurements if
the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard. Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long peri ods. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Diode, R
esistance or Continuity
tests.
•
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be diffi
cult and misleading because of
the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contac ts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection prov
ided by the equipment may be impaired.

C Voltage Measurements
1.Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or inse rt into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
2.
If AC
voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.
NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are o ften tw
isted. For best results, rub the
probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placi ng the tip in close prox
imity to the
liv
e conductor.
NOTE: T
he detector is designed with high sensitiv
ity. Static electricity
or other sources of
energy
may
randomly
trip the sensor. This is normal operation
Flashlight
