Hint:
When you use the meter to probe for a voltage
in a high-voltage circuit, we recommend you do not
try to position both probes at once. Instead, use one
of the supplied insulated alligator clips to clamp one
lead to the circuit’s neutral or ground lead (usually a
bare, green, or white lead in AC wiring circuits). Then
probe for voltages with the other probe. This helps
prevent you from accidentally touching a hot wire,
since you need only concentrate on one test probe.
Warning:
Never clamp onto a hot wire (usually red,
black, or blue in AC wiring circuits). If you do so and
then touch the other probe connected to the meter,
you could receive an electric shock.
4. The meter automatically moves to the range that
gives the best reading. If you selected manual range
control, press

to change the range.
