Prior to taking DC current measurements wait for the display to stabilize. When stable, push the Zero button to ensure accurate readings. Zeroing the meter removes DC offset from the measurement reading.
Note: The Zero function works only when the dial is set to the DC current measurement position. Before zeroing the meter, make sure the jaws are closed and no conductor is inside the jaw.
2. Press the trigger to the open jaw and fully enclose one conductor.
NOTE: Only one conductor can be measured at a time.
3. The LCD will display the reading.

6. The LCD will display the reading.
NOTE: The meter will display "OL" if there is an open input or a temperature over range. To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been removed before changing to another function.
Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection
1. Set the rotary function to the NCV position.
NOTE: Remove test leads from the meter prior to attempting NCV tests.
Always verify the NCV function on a known live circuit before performing your tests. Do not use the NCV function if the display does not show EF when the function switch is turned to the NCV position. If the meter does not switch on when the NCV mode is initiated, check the batteries.
2. Place the probe near an AC voltage location. If AC voltage is present, the meter will emit an audible beep, the LCD will display dashes "---" and the NCV indicator will light up.
NOTE: As the AC voltage signal increases, the frequency of the beeps and the number of dashes on the LCD screen will increase. Receptacles in recessed sockets or differences in socket may result in false readings.

Auto and Manual Range
When the meter is rst turned on, it automatically goes into Auto Ranging mode. This automatically selects the best range for the measurement being made and is generally the best mode for most applications. For applications that require a manual range to be set, perform the following:
1. Press the RANGE button. The "Auto" range display indicator will turn off.
2. Continuously press the RANGE to skip through the available ranges until the required range is selected.
3. Press and hold the RANGE button for 2 seconds to exit "Manual Ranging" mode and return to "Auto Ranging".
Relative Mode
Relative mode stores the current measurement reading displayed on the LCD, resets the meter to zero and maintains the stored measurement reading as a reference point for all subsequent measurements.
1. Press the REL button to enter relative mode. The indicator will appear on the LCD along with the relative reading.
2. Press the REL button again to exit relative mode and resume normal operation.
Note: The meter does not auto range while relative mode is enabled and does not work under Continuity, Resistance or Diode Test measurement modes.
Auto Power Off
1. To preserve battery life, the meter is programmed to turn off after approx. 15 minutes of inactivity.
2. To turn this function off, press and hold the SELECT button while powering on the meter.
3. If the meter is turned off then back on, the "Auto Power Off" feature will be enabled again.
