CAUTIONS
Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter.
Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.
Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or
35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.
Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing
Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous objects as well as small parts that the children could swallow. In case a child swallows any of them, please contact a physician immediately
Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended; they can be dangerous for children if they use them as toys
In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent them from training
Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with the skin. Always, therefore, use suitable hand gloves in such cases
See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.
Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for extended periods of time

Operation
NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
AC Current Measurements
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current clamp measurements.

range
2. Press the trigger to open the jaw. Fully enclose only one conductor. For optimum results, center the conductor in the jaw.
3. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.
DCA ZERO
The DC Zero feature removes offset values and improves accuracy for DC current measurements. To perform a zero, select ADC and with no conductor in the jaw: zero the display. “ZERO” will appear in the display. The offset value is now stored and removed from all measurements.

5. Read the capacitance value in the display.
6. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
Note: For very large values of capacitance measurement time can be several minutes before the final reading stabilizes.
Frequency Measurements
1. Set the function switch to the V Hz Position.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to select the Frequency (Hz) function. “k Hz” will appear in the display.
3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the Hz positive jack.

OL, the diode is good.
If both readings display OL the device is open.
If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.
