SUMM
The meter is a stable multimeter with 26mm LCD display,
driven by battery. It’s widely used on measuring DCV, ACV,
DCA, ACA, resistance, capacitance, diode, transistor,
continuity test and temperature. Ideal for lab, factory and
family use.
SAFETY NOTE
The meter meets the standards of IEC1010. Read the
operation manual carefully before operation.
1. Do not input limit over-ranged.
2. The voltage below 36V is safety. To avoid electric shock,
check whether the test leads are connected correctly,
whether the insulation is good when measuring over
36DCV or 25ACV.
3. Remove the test leads when changing function and
range.
4. To select correct function and range, beware of error
operation.
5. Do not operate the meter if battery case and back cover is
not fixed.
6. Do not input voltage when measuring resistance.
7. Remove test leads from test point and turn off the power
before replacing battery and fuse.
