1. 

Set the function switch to the VAC position.

2.  Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead 

banana plug into the positive (V) jack.

3.  Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
4.  Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point, value 

and symbol (AC, V, etc.).

DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. 

Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the Multimeter and/or the test leads.

1. 

Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.

2.  For current measurements up to 4000µA DC, set the function switch to the µA position 

and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (µA) jack.

3.  For current measurements up to 400mA DC, set the function switch to the mA range and 

insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) jack.

4.  For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the A position and 

insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.

5.  Press the AC/DC button until “DC” appears in the display.
6.  Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point where 

you wish to measure current.

7. 

Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe 

tip to the positive side of the circuit.

8.  Apply power to the circuit.
9.  Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point, value 

and symbol.

AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage 

exceeds 250V AC.
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. 

Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the Multimeter and/or the test leads.

1. 

Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.

2.  For current measurements up to 4000µA AC, set the function switch to the µA position 

and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (µA) jack.

3.  For current measurements up to 400mA AC, set the function switch to the mA range and 

insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) jack.

4.  For current measurements up to 10A AC, set the function switch to the A position and 

insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.

5.  Press the AC/DC button until “AC” appears in the display.
6.  Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point where 

you wish to measure current.

7. 

Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. And touch the red test 

probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

8.  Apply power to the circuit. Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the 

proper decimal point, value and symbol.
