negative side of the circuit.   

Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit. 

4. 

Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function 

switch to successively lower V DC positions to 
obtain a higher resolution reading. The display will 
indicate the proper decimal point and value. If the 
polarity is reversed, the display will show (-) minus 
before the value.

 

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS 

WARNING: 

  Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be 

long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets 

for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the 

outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the 

outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are 

touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming 

that no voltage is present. 

 

CAUTION: 

 Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the 

circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may 

occur that can damage the meter.
