2. Function / Range Switch Used to select desired function or range as well as to turn on or off the
meter.
3. Display
4. COM-Jack Plug-in jack for the black (Negative) test lead.
5.
Plug-in jack for the red (Positive) test lead.
6. "RANGE" Button Used to switch between autorange mode and manual range mode as well as to
select desired manual range.
7.
a. In resistance, AC/DC current or AC/DC voltage measurement, press this button to enter or exit
Data Hold mode.
b. In diode or continuity test function, press this button to switch between the diode and
continuity test functions.
8.
In current measurements, this button can be used for zeroing before
measurement. In other measurements, this button can be used to enter or exit relative mode.
The "ZERO" button must be pressed for compensation of measurement error in the 400A range.
9. Tactile Barrier
10. Jaw used for clamping the conductor for current measurements.
Introduction for the Built-in Buzzer
When you press a button Function / Range Switch, the buzzer will sound a beep if the press is
effective. Before the meter turns off automatically. The meter will give several short beeps, 1 minute
later it gives a long beep and then turns off automatically.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This meter has been designed according to IEC-81010 concerning electronic measuring instrument
with a measurement category (CAT II 600V) and Pollution degree 2.
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
x 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.
x Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check: the test leads for
continuity. Replace damaged test lead before you use the meter.
x Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have
the meter serviced.
x Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapour or dusts.
x Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between terminals or between
any terminal and earth ground.
