Setup and Operation
To turn on the instrument turn the rotary function switch
from the OFF position to any measurement range.
NOTE:
For best battery life ALWAYS turn the rotary function
switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
Meter has Auto power-off that automatically shuts the
meter off if 30 minutes elapse between uses.
NOTE:
On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the
test leads not connected to a device, the display may show
a random, changing reading. This is normal and is caused
by the high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and
give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit.
