OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
When making voltage or current measurements, develop the

habit of turning off all power to the circuit under test. Connect
the test leads at the desired points in the circuit, then turn on
the power while taking readings. Turn off the power before
disconnecting the test leads from the circuit.

INTERNAL BATTERY CHECK

To check the battery condition, insert the black test lead into the

(-) jack. Set the range switch to the R X1 range position and
short the ends of the two sides of the test leads. If the pointer
can not be brought to the zero mark, replace the 1.5V cells or
9V cell. (See battery replacement.)
