Digital Multimeter User Manual 

Thank you for purchasing this Low Cost Digital Multimeter. This multimeter is the perfect 

introduction to meters, and data capture of standard measurements including DC & AC voltage, DC 

current, resistance, transistor, and diode testing. Just move the rotary switch to the correct position, 

plug in your leads and you’re good to go! 

Please familiarise yourself with the functions of the multimeter before use. We recommend 

retaining this manual for ease of reference. 

 

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. 

 

Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses. 

 

Before using this meter, please inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any 

damage. If damage is present, please discontinue use. 

 

Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the terminals exceeds 1000V above earth ground. 

 

Do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the specification tables on pages 

6-7 of this manual. 

 

Remove the batteries from the meter if it will be unused for an extended period of time. 

 

Always turn the function switch to the off position when not in use.

Please familiarise yourself with the functions of the multimeter before use. We 

recommend retaining this manual for ease of reference.

• Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death.

• Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

• Before using the meter, please inspect the condition of the test leads and the 

meter itself for any damage. If damage is present, please discontinue use.

• Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the terminals exceeds 1000V above 

earth ground. 

• Use great care if voltages are greater than 30VAC RMS. Anything above this is 

considered a shock hazard. 

• Always discharge capacitors and disconnect power before performing diode, 

resistance or continuity tests. 

• Do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the 

specification tables on pages 

12, 13, 14 & 15

 of this manual.

• Remove the batteries from the meter if it will be unused for an extended period 

of time. 

• Always turn the function switch to the off position when not in use.
