• When you change the measurement function, the meter will

regard its auto range as current range.

• In the auto range mode, the “AUTO” symbol will appear on

display and the manual range disappears.

3. Enter or exit manual range mode

• Press the RANGE button to select the manual range mode

and the “AUTO” symbol disappears. Each press of the

7. Making Measurements

Preparation

Checking the Battery Voltage
Rotate the Function Rotary Switch to any position away from the
OFF position. The battery voltage is adequate when the indication
is clear and the symbol is not on the display.

If the symbol appears on the display, or nothing shows on the
display at all, follow the battery replacement procedure shown in
related items in this manual and replace with new batteries specified.

Measuring Voltage

Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points.
The polarity of AC (alternating current) voltage varies over time, while
the polarity of DC (direct current) voltage is constant.

Danger

To avoid the danger of electric shock, never make measurements
on a circuit over 600V AC/DC (electrical potential to ground 300V
DC/AC). Do not operate the Function Rotary Switch during
measurement. Do not make a measurement when opening the
battery cover and the meter case.
