1. 1 Set the function switch to the highest V DC position 2 Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack 3 Touch the black test probe tip to the 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 scale reading DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS 1 Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack 2 Set the function switch to the 250mA DC position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the mA jack 3 Remove power from the circuit under test then open up the circuit at the point where you wish to measure current 4 Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit 5 Apply power to the circuit 6 Read the current in the display Reset the function switch to successively lower mA positions to obtain a higher scale reading ww AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 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 touchin2. ASUREMENTS The dB scale can be used to measure the milliwatt power dissipation on a 6000 load by measuring the voltage across a 600 Q load An AC voltage of 0 775Vrms across 6000 is equal to 1mW or 0 dB When converting an AC Voltage measurement to dB take the dB reading from the lowest arc on the scale plate and then add the appropriate dB correction found in the table below ACV ADD dB 10 0 10 22 50 14 4 36 250 28 18 50 500 34 24 56 MAINTENANCE WARNING To avoid electric shock disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the back cover or the battery or fuse o not operate your meter until the battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely This MultiMeter is designed to provide years of dependable service if the following care instructions are performed 1 KEEP THE METER DRY If it gets wet dry it immediately 2 USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES Temperature extremes can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts 3 HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY Dropping it can damage the electronic parts or the case 4 KEEP THE METER CLEAN Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth DO NOT use chemicals cleaning solvents or detergents 5 USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit 6 IF THE METE
