WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case.
Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads
for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.
• Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in
doubt, have the meter serviced.
• Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapour, or dust.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between terminals
or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Before use, verify the meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
• When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
• Use with caution when working above 30V ac rms, 42V peak, or 60 dc. Such voltages
pose a shock hazard.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you
disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
• Remove the test leads from the meter before you open the battery door.
• Do not operate the meter with the battery door or portions of the cover removed
or loosened.
• To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (“
”) appears.
• CAT II – Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits
directly connected to low voltage installation. (Examples are measurements on
household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.) Do not use the meter
for measurements within Measurement Categories III and IV.

CONTROL BUTTON DESCRIPTION
HOLD BUTTON
When this button is pushed, LCD will show the last reading, and “H” symbol will appear
till pushed again. Data holding will be cancelled automatically when the function switch
is rotated.
FUNC BUTTON
Push this button to select ACA/DCA, ACV/DCV,
measuring function when the
function switch is set at A,V, or
position.
REL/ZERO BUTTON
When this button is pushed, LCD will show the relative reading or Zero reading till
pushed again.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
AC/DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED to the VΩ jack.
Set the function switch at V position, connect test leads across the source or load
under measurement.
Push “FUNC” button to select AC or DC Mode, and then the symbol ~ or
is shown on LCD.
Read LCD display. The polarity of RED test lead will be indicated when making
a DC measurement.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED to the VΩ jack.
(NOTE: The polarity of the RED lead is positive “+”)
2. Set the function switch at Ω position, connect test leads across the resistance
under measurement.
NOTE:
1. For resistance above 2MΩ, the meter may take a few seconds to stabilize reading.
This is normal for high resistance measuring.
2. When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the figure “OL” will be displayed
under over-range condition.
3. When check in circuit resistance, be sure the circuit under test, has all power removed
and all capacitors are fully discharged.
AC/DC CURRENT MEASURE
1. Set Function/Range Switch to the 400A range. If the display indicates one or more
leading zeros. Shift to 40A range to improve the resolution of the measurement.
2. Push “FUNC” button to select AC or DC Mode, and then the symbol ~ or
is shown on LCD.
3. Press the “REL(ZERO)” button to zero the meter.
4. Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws. And clamp one conductor only it is
impossible to make measurements when two or three conductors are clamped at the
same time.
5. Display reading is showing the current value.
CONTINUITY/DIODE TEST
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED to the VΩ jack.
2. Set the function switch at
position and push the button “FUNC” to select
continuity or diode test mode.
3. In continuity test, if the circuit resistance under test is lower than 50Ω, built-in buzzer
will sound.
4. If diode test mode is selected, connect the RED and BLACK test leads to anode and
cathodes of the diode under test separately. The forward voltage drop of this diode in
V will be displayed.
FREQUENCY TEST
1. Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test lead to the V/Ω Hz jack.
2. Put the range selector at “Hz” position, and connect the test leads across the
resistance under measurement.
3. Take the reading from LCD.
Note:
When test the high Frequency >1MHz, the input Voltage must be less than 10V for getting
the accurate value.
NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE DETECTION (NCV)
1. Set the function range switch at the NCV position. Then the NCV indicating LED light
is flashing.
2. Take the clamp jaw close to the AC signal.
3. Once the ACV is above 100V, the NCV indicating LED flashes quickly.
NOTE:
Don’t try to contact the testing place with this tester. No display on LCD at this range.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the sign “
” appears on the display, it indicates battery should be replaced.
Remove screws and open the back case, replace the exhausted batteries with
new ones (AAA 1.5V *2pcs or equivalent).
