4. Repeatedly press 
RANGE
 to select 
different ranges. The decimal point shifts 
each time you press 
RANGE
.
 
 
5. Hold down 
RANGE 
for about 2 seconds, 
the meter exits manual range mode and 
returns to its auto range mode.
6. Set the meter to the different 
measurement ranges. The unit of 
measure that appears on the display 
shows you the range that the meter is 
currently set to. For example, 
cL
cLcL
cL
 
appears in the 400 mV range. Also, note 
the position of the decimal. For example, 
if 
&$&&&ýL
&$&&&ýL&$&&&ýL
&$&&&ýL
 appears, the meter is set to 
measure less than 4 volts. If 
&&&L
&&&L&&&L
&&&L
 
appears, the meter is set to measure up 
to 600 volts.
Read the range in volts, ohms, 
capacitance, or amps as indicated by 
the position of the decimal point.
Note:
 The display might show a 
phantom reading in some DC and AC 
voltage ranges when the test leads are 
not connected to a circuit. This is 
normal. The high input sensitivity 
produces a “wandering” effect. When 
you connect the test leads to a circuit, a 
real measurement appears.
7. Connect the test leads to the circuit you 
want to measure, To measure different 
circuits, see “Making Measurements” on 
Page 4.
Caution:
 If 
E$<
E$<E$<
E$<
 (overflow) appears, the value 
you are measuring exceeds the range for the 
setting you selected. This is normal when 
you measure resistance or a diode, or do not 
have the leads connected to a component. If 
you are measuring voltage or current when 
E$<
E$<E$<
E$<
 appears, however, immediately 
disconnect the probes from the circuit.

You can set the meter to have it not show an 
unwanted value that might appear as a result 
of internal or other factors. For example, the 
meter always shows a small value when you 
set the selector to 
•
 to measure 
capacitance, even when you have not 
connected the test leads to a component. 
(This happens because the meter measures 
its own internal capacitance, which is 
normal). If you set the meter in relative mode 
with the small value as reference, it does not 
display this value when you measure a 
component.
You can also set the meter to a baseline 
reference value. For example, if you are 
measuring resistors with a 100 ohm rating 
and you want to see the resistor’s tolerance 
(the actual value in ohms above or below the 
resistor’s rating), you can set the meter to a 
baseline reference value of 100 ohms so it 
displays only the resistor’s tolerance.
1. Set the function selector to any setting 
except 
–
/„
, 
Duty function
, or 
EF
.
2. Measure the zero offset (disconnect test 
leads for capacitance function, or touch 
the test leads together for other function) 
if you want to remove the zero offset 
from reading, or connect the test leads 
to the component whose measurement 
you want to use as a reference value.
3. While measuring the zero offset or with 
the test leads connected to a 
component, hold down

appears. The meter is set to manual 
range mode. 
4. Use the meter to make a measurement. 
Notes:
• If the reference value you measured in 
Step 2 is greater than the value of the 
measurement you made in Step 4, the 
meter shows a negative value. This is 
not a malfunction.
•
E$<
E$<E$<
E$<
 appears if you measure values 
outside of the meter’s currently set 
range.
• The meter displays values greater than 
4000 counts as long as the range used 
is not an overflow range. (A count is the 
smallest unit of measure that the meter 
can measure). For example, if you store 
–3.500 volts as a reference, then 
measure +3.500 volts, the meter might 
display 7.000 volts.
• You can not set 
E$<
E$<E$<
E$<
 as a reference value.

WARNINGS:
• Never clamp a test lead to a hot wire 
(usually red, black, or blue in AC wiring 
circuits). If one lead is clamped to a hot 
wire and you touch the meter’s other 
probe, you could receive an electric 
shock.
• The maximum input limit for voltage 
measurement is 600 V DC/AC (RMS). 
To avoid electrical shock and damage to 
the meter, never try to measure a DC 
voltage above 600 volts or an AC 
voltage above 600 volts RMS.
1. Rotate the function selector to 
V
.
2. Repeatedly press 
SELECT
 to select the 
function between DC voltage and AC 
voltage (

 appears on the left side of the 
display for AC voltage measurement).
3. If the meter is set to automatic range 
control, the meter automatically moves 
to the range that gives the best reading.
4. To set manual range control, press 
RANGE
 then change the range (if 
necessary) by repeatedly pressing 
RANGE
