1. Read the reading on the display.

Measuring DC or AC Current

Note: Remove all the test leads from the meter before using the meter for current measurements. After you set the function switch to a current range position, wait about 5 to 10 minutes before you proceed. It is necessary for accurate measurements. The max. measuring capacity is AC/DC 400A. Measuring a current higher than AC/DC 400A will cause a larger measurement error. For DC current measurements, the display can indicate the current's direction. A positive reading (negative sign "-" doesn't appear) indicates that the current direction is from the meter's front to its back. (Tip: Current direction is the opposite of electron flow direction). Don't use the meter to measure a circuit's current if the circuit's voltage exceeds 600V.
