W Caution
To avoid possible damage to the Meter or the equipment
under test, follow these guidelines:
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high
voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for all
measurements.
• Do not remove batteries while the Meter is turned on
or a signal is applied to the Meter’s input jacks.
• Before measuring current, check the Meter's fuses.
(See "Testing the Fuses" in the Users Manual on the
accompanying CD.)
• Do not use the LoZ mode to measure voltages in
circuits that could be damaged by this mode’s low
impedance (≈3 kΩ). (model 289 only)
Turning the Meter On
With the Meter off, press O to turn on the Meter. Pressing O while the
Meter is on, causes it to turn off.
Setting the Meter’s Language
The Meter comes from the factory with the display language set to
English. To select another language, open the setup menu by pressing
the softkey labeled Setup. Move the menu selector next to the menu item
labeled Display. Next, press the softkey labeled Format (F2) to open the
format menu. If not already selected, move the menu selector to the left
of the menu item labeled Language and press the softkey labeled Edit.
The currently selected language becomes highlighted and f appears to
the right of the language. Use 7 and 8 to scroll through the available
languages, then press the softkey labeled OK to set the Meter’s display
language. Press the softkey labeled Close to return to normal Meter
operation.
