* Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars.
* Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
* Verify a Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage.
Do not use the Meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
* Uses the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
* When the range of the value to be measured is unknown, check that the range initially set on the multimeter is the highest possible or, wherever possible, choose the autoranging mode.
* To avoid damages to the instrument, do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical specification tables.
* When the multimeter is linked to measurement circuits, do not touch unused terminals.
2
* Caution when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
* When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
* When making connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
* Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
* For all dc functions, including manual or auto-ranging, to avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper reading, verify the presence of any ac voltages by first using the ac function. Then select a dc voltage range equal to or greater than the ac range.
* Before attempting to insert transistors for testing, always be sure that test leads have been disconnected from any measurement circuits .
* Components should not be connected to the hFE socket when making voltage measurements with test leads .
* Disconnect circuits power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
* Never perform resistance or continuity measurements on live circuits.
* Before measuring current, check the meter's fuse and turn off power to the circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
* In TV repair work, or when carrying out measurements on power switching circuits, remember that high amplitude voltage pulses at the test points can damage the multimeter.

Data Hold mode makes the meter stop updating the display.
Enabling Data Hold function in autorange mode makes the meter switch to Manual ranging mode, but the full-scale range remains the same. Data Hold function can be cancelled by changing the measurement mode, pressing
RANGE key, or push HOLD key again.
To enter and exit the Data Hold mode:
1. Press HOLD key (short press). Fixes the display on the current value, “ H is displayed.
2. A second short press returns the meter to normal mode.
The Meter has both manual ranging and autorange options.
* In the autorange mode, the Meter selects the best range for the input detected. This allows you to switch test points without having to reset the range.
* In the manual ranging mode, you select the range. This allows you to override autorange and lock the meter in a specific range.
* The Meter defaults to the autorange mode in measurement functions that have more than one range.
When the Meter is in the autorange mode, AUTO is displayed.
To enter and exit the manual range mode:
1. Press RANGE key. The Meter enters the manual ranging mode.
AUTO turns off. Each presses of RANGE key increments the range. When the highest range is reached, the Meter wraps to the lowest range.
12
NOTE: If you manually change the measurement range after entering the Data Hold modes, the Meter exits this mode.
2. To exit the manual ranging mode, press and hold down
RANGE key for two seconds. The Meter returns to the autorange mode and AUTO is displayed.
The Meter enters the "sleep mode" and blanks the display if the Meter is on but not used for 30 minutes.
Press the HOLD key or rotate the rotary switch to wake the meter up.
To disable the Sleep mode, hold down the while turning the meter on.

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).
13
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.
¥ 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.

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.

To measure resistance:
1. Set the rotary switch to Ω range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
Ω terminals respectively.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured and read the displayed value.
Some tips for measuring resistance:
¥ The measured value of a resistor in a circuit is often different from the resistor's rated value. This is because the Meter's test current flows through all possible paths between the probe tips.
¥ In order to ensure the best accuracy in measurement of low resistance, short the test leads before measurement and memory the test probe resistance in mind. This necessary to subtract for the resistance of the test leads.
¥ The resistance function can produce enough voltage to forward-bias silicon diode or transistor junctions, causing them to conduct. To avoid this, do not use the 40M Ω range for in-circuit resistance measurements.
¥ On 40M Ω range, the meter may take a few seconds to stabilize reading. This is normal for high resistance measuring.
¥ When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the figure "OL" will be displayed for the overrange condition.
15 instrument, disconnect circuit power and
Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a current through the semiconductor junction, then measures the voltage drop across the junction, A good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V.

key to activate Diode Test.
3. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
V Ω terminals respectively.
4. For forward-bias readings on any semiconductor component, place the red test lead on the component's anode and place the black test lead on the component's cathode.
5. The meter will show the approx. forward voltage of the diode.
In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward bias reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse-bias reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips.

Capacitance is the ability of a component to store an electrical charge.
17
The unit of capacitance is the farad (F). Most capacitors are in the nanofarad to microfarad range. The Meter measures capacitance by charging the capacitor with a known current for a known period of time, measuring the resulting voltage, then calculating the capacitance. The measurement takes about 1 second per range.
The Meter's capacitance ranges are 4.000nF 40.00nF,
400.0nF, 4.000

To measure capacitance:
1. Set the rotary switch to Cap range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and Cx terminals respectively.
3. Connect the test leads to the capacitor being measured and read the displayed value.
¥ The meter may take a few seconds (200 µ F range, 30 seconds) to stabilize reading. This is normal for high capacitance measuring.
¥ To improve the accuracy of measurements less than 4nF, subtract the residual capacitance of the Meter and leads.
1. Set the rotary switch to Hz range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and Hz terminals respectively.
