BEFORE OPERATING

1. Set the range switch to the proper position before making

any measurement.

2. Never apply more voltage or current than the rated value in

every position.

3. When the voltage or current to be measured it not known,

always start with the highest range.

4. If meter indication is in the lower half of the scale and falls

within the range of a lower scale, reset selector switch to the
lower range for greatest accuracy.

5. If the meter won’t wotk at all, check the fuse located on the

PCB. If it’s blown, replace it. (See fuse replacement.)

6. Avoid placing the meter where extreme shock or continuous

vibration is encountered and do not store in excessively hot
or damp places. Although very rugged, the meter is a
sensitive measuring device and should be handled carefully
& properly.

7. Do not check resistance, transistor, diode, LED, or

capacitance when live voltage or current input across the
circuit.

8. When the meter is not in use, keep the selector switch to the

“OFF” range position, this provides direct short across meter
movement for minimum needle bounce when transporting
meter.

9. If you should accidentally apply excessive voltage or current

on a certain range, disconnect the leads from the circuot as
quickly as possible, check instrument operation on that range
by applying peoper input. If the meter does not operate
peoperly, check fuse. If it is blown replace it. (See fuse
replacement.)
