from the OFF setting to any measurement setting. To Power OFF the meter rotate the Function Selector switch

to the OFF setting. By default, the meter will automatically Power OFF after 30 minutes of inactivity. Reactivate meter by pressing any button. To deactivate the automatic Power OFF feature, power the meter ON with the SEL button

depressed. When automatic Power OFF is deactivated, the symbol will not be visible in the display. When the Function Selector switch is rotated to a measurement setting, "LEAD" flashes on the display as a reminder to check that test leads are inserted into the appropriate jacks. "SEL" (SELECT) BUTTON (FOR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS) The "SEL" button

activates the secondary functions for each setting accessible by the Function Selector switch

. For current and voltage, it toggles between AC and DC. For the other functions, it switches between °F and °C, between Hz and % Duty-cycle, and between Continuity, Resistance, and Diode-test. The default function for each application is printed on the meter in white; the secondary functions are printed on the meter in orange.

CONNECTING TEST LEADS

Do not test if leads are improperly seated. Results could cause intermittent display readings. To ensure proper connection, firmly press leads into the input jack completely. TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use the CAT III / CAT IV shield increases arc-flash risk.

TESTING IN CAT II MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

CAT III / CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall outlets. Take care not to lose the shields. 5/32" (4 mm) .7" (18 mm) INCORRECT CORRECT11 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AC/DC VOLTAGE (LESS THAN 1000V)

the V setting. NOTE: The meter defaults to AC measurement. Press the "SEL" button

to toggle between AC and DC modes. The AC or DC icon on the LCD indicates which mode is selected.

2. Apply test leads to the circuit to be tested to measure voltage.

The meter will auto-range to display the measurement in the most appropriate range. NOTE: If "–" appears on the LCD, the test leads are being applied to the circuit in reverse polarity. Swap the position of the leads to correct this. NOTE: When in a voltage setting and the test leads are open, readings of order mV may appear on the display. This is noise and is normal. By touching the test leads together to close the circuit the meter will measure zero volts.
