The polarity of ac (alternating current) voltage varies over
time; the polarity of dc (direct current) voltage is constant.
The Meter's DC voltage ranges are 400.0mV, 4.000V,
40.00V, 400.0V and 1000V ; AC voltage ranges are
400.0mV , 4.000V, 40.00V, 400.0V and 750V.
(AC 400.0mV range only exists in manual ranging mode).

To
measure ac or dc voltage:
1. Set rotary switch to the DCV or ACV range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
V terminals respectively.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured
4. Read the displayed value. The polarity of red test lead
connection will be indicated when making a DCV
measurement.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
¥ Unstable display may occur especially at 400mV range,
even though you do not put test leads into input terminals,
in this case, if an erroneous reading is suspected, short
the V terminal and the COM terminal, and make sure the
zero display.
¥ For better accuracy when measuring the dc offset of an
ac voltage, measure the ac voltage first. Note the ac
voltage range, then manually select a dc voltage range
equal to or higher than the ac range. This improves the
accuracy of the dc measurement by ensuring that the
input protection circuits are not activated.

resistance.
The unit of resistance is the ohm ( Ω ). The Meter measures
resistance by sending a small current through the circuit.
Because this current flows through all possible paths
between the probes, an in-circuit resistance reading
represents the total resistance of all paths between the
probes.
