Good Meter Measurement Practices
4. When making voltage and current measurements always
start with the highest range available.
5. Never attempt to measure a voltage when the function is
set to resistance or current. (It may burn out the meter
movement or other circuitry.)
6. Never attempt to measure current with the tester set for
resistance.
7. Never attempt to measure AC voltages or current with
the tester set to a DC mode. (Meter circuitry can be
damaged.)

8. Do not attempt to measure RF voltages with the
Multitester. (It can be damaged, or, at best, the readings will
be meaningless.)
9. Remember that voltage and resistance measurements
are made with the Multitester connected in parallel. Current
measurements are made with the Multitester connected in
series.
