When the Meter working at an effective voltage over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special care should be taken for there is danger of electric shock. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements. If the value to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measurement position. Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The performance of the Meter may deteriorate after dampened. When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards. Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high­voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes. Before measuring current, check the Meter's fuses and turn off power to the circuit before connecting the Meter to the circuit. Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears. With a low battery, the Meter might produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
When servicing the Meter, use only the same model number or identical electrical specifications replacement parts. The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident. Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and accident. The Meter is suitable for indoor use. Turn the Meter off when it is not in use and take out the battery when not using for a long time. Constantly check the battery as it may leak when it has been using for some time, replace the battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking battery will damage the Meter.

Turning the Meter On
To turn the Meter on, turn the rotary switch from OFF to any switch setting.
Battery Considerations
The Meter uses one 9V Battery (NEDA 1604, 6F22, 006P). The following paragraphs describe several techniques used to conserve battery power.
Automatic Power Off
The display blanks and the Meter goes into a "sleep" mode if you have not changed the rotary switch position or pressed a button for a set period. While in Sleep mode, pressing the blue button or turning the rotary switch could turn the Meter on. The Meter then returns to the display for the function selected with the rotary switch; all previously activated button features are discarded.
Automatic Backlight Off
Press LIGHT button to turn the backlight on and press LIGHT again to turn it off. Press EXIT to exit the feature.
Press LIGHT to select the backlight level (low or high). In Setup menu (see Chapter 5), you could specify a time to automatically turn off the backlight (10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds or OFF). If the period is set to OFF, the backlight feature is disabled.
The automatic power off is preset to 10 minutes. From the Setup menu (see Chapter 5), you could specify a time (10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes or OFF). If you set to OFF, the Meter retains on until you turn the rotary switch to OFF or the battery becomes too weak.

Note
When measuring voltage, the Meter acts around a 10M ( and ) or 2.5G ( ) impedance in parallel with the circuit. This loading effect can cause measurement errors in high impedance circuits. In most cases, the error is negligible (0.1% or less) if the circuit impedance is 10k or less. Special care should be taken when measuring high voltage. When voltage measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test and remove testing leads away from the input terminals of the Meter.

The BLUE button cycles among resistance, continuity, and diode.
Note
When measuring low resistance, the test leads can add 0.1 to 0.2 of error to resistance measurement. To test the leads, touch the probe tips together and read the resistance of the leads. If necessary, you can press REL to automatically subtract this value. For high-resistance measurement (>1M ), it is normal taking several seconds to obtain a stable reading. In order to obtain precision readings, use the test lead as short as possible. The LCD displays OL indicating open-circuit or the tested resistor value is higher than the maximum range of the Meter. When testing the resistance signal from the calibrator, it is necessary to press and hold the RANGE while turning on the Meter to change the maximum display to 4000 counts but the accuracy remains unchanged. When resistance measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test and remove testing leads away from the input terminals.

Warning
To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to input voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V rms AC.
To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes.
Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a current through the semicondutor junction, then measure the voltage drop across the junction. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V
To test the diode out of a circuit, set up the Meter as Figure 3-5 and proceed as follows:
Insert the red test lead into the terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. Set the rotary switch to ; and press BLUE button to select measurement mode.

The BLUE button cycles among resistance, continuity, and diode.
Note
In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse voltage drop reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips. Connect the test leads to the proper terminals as said above to avoid error display. The LCD will display OL indicating either open circuit or wrong polarity connection. The unit of diode is volt (V), displaying the positive­connection voltage-drop value. Open circuit voltage approximate 2.8V.
