Safety Note
The design of this meter is in accordance with IEC1010 clause
(the safety standard issued by International Electrotechnical
Commission). Prior to the operation of the instrument, please
read the safety considerations before use.
1. When DC voltage is above 30V, AC voltage above 25V,
current above 10mA, AC power line with inductive load or
power line during electric fluctuation is measured, please
beware of electric shock.
2. Prior to measurement, check if the measurement function
switch is at the correct position. Check if the test lead is
contacted reliably, connected correctly, and grounded well
etc. in order to avoid electric shock.
3. Only if the meter is used with the matched test lead, does it
meet the requirement of the safety standard. When the line
of the test lead is damaged, it is necessary to replace with
another one of the same model or the same electrical
specification.
4. Don’t use other unconfirmed or disapproved fuses to replace
the fuse inside the meter. Only the same model or same
2
specification fuse can be replaced. Before the replacement,
the test leads must be removed from the measuring point
and ensure there is no any signal at the input terminal.
5. Don’t use other unconfirmed or disapproved battery to
replace the battery inside the meter. Only the same model or
same electrical specification battery can be replaced. Before
the replacement, the test lead must be removed from the
measuring point and ensure there is no any signal at the
input terminal.
6. When the electrical measurement is made, never let your
body gets in touch with the ground directly, and don’t touch
uncovered metal terminal, output port, lead clamp and etc.
where earth potential may exist. Dry clothes, rubber shoes,
rubber cushion and other insulating material are usually
used to keep your body insulated against the ground.
7. Don’t store and use it in the high-temperature, high-humidity,
inflammable and strong magnetic field environment.
8. It may damage to the meter and endanger the operator’s
safety if the voltage value beyond the permitted ultimate
voltage value is measured. The ultimate voltage value
permitted for measurement is marked on the instrument
panel, and never measure the value exceeding the standard.
Don’t input the ultimate value out of regulation in order to
avoid electric shock and the damage to the meter.
9. When the test lead is inserted into the current socket, don’t
measure any voltage for fear that the meter should be
damaged and the operator’s safety be endangered.
10. Don’t try calibrating or repairing the meter. When necessary,
only the qualified professional personnel who have had
special training or gained approval can make it.
11. During measurement, the requirement of measurement
3
function must be in accordance with LCD display. Please be
sure to disconnect the line of the test lead with the measured
object first and ensure there is no any input signal. It is
forbidden to switch the function/range selection switch
during measurement
12. When “
battery immediately to ensure the measurement precision.
13. It is not allowed to insert the test lead into the current
terminal to measure voltage!
14. Please don’t change the circuits of the meter freely for fear
that the meter will be damaged and the safety endangered.

3.1 Hz/% (Frequency/Duty Cycle)
Press this button to select the
frequency or duty cycle mode.
The measurement mode of
voltage/frequency/duty cycle or
current/frequency/duty cycle
could be selected by pressing
this button in AC/DC voltage or
AC/DC current .

button, the reading is locked; press it again (the left side),
the lock will release and back to normal measurement
status. Press the right side of this button over 3 seconds,
the backlight will come on, press this button(the right side)
again the backlight turns off.

Other Functions
Auto Power off
During measurement, the meter will automatically shut down
(enter sleeping mode) to save power if function buttons and
knob switch are not operated for 15 minutes. In auto power off
mode, press any function buttons or rotate the knob switch,
the instrument will get into the auto power on mode (working
mode)
A) Insert the black test lead into “COM” terminal and red test
lead into “
B) Rotate the Range to “Ω”. Cross connect the two test leads
to the tested resistor.
C) When measuring the low resistance, please short-circuit the
test leads at first to test the wire resistance, and then deduct
it from the actual resistance.
Caution:
1. If “OL” is displayed on LCD, it indicates the tested resistance
value has exceeded the present range limit, please select
higher range to complete the measurement. When measuring
the Resistor higher than 1MΩ, the instrument will take several
seconds to make the reading stable. It is normal when
measuring the high resistor.
2. When the input terminal is open circuit, it will display “OL”.
3. When measuring in-line resistor, be sure that the power is off

select the Diode measurement mode.
C) Forward Measurement: Connect the red test lead to the
diode positive polarity and the black test lead to the diode
negative polarity. The approximate value of diode forward
voltage drop will show on the display.
