• Follow the MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE on page 4 to maximize accuracy.
• Read the DC mA measurement using the mA labeled black arc (second arc
from the top).
WARNING: Verify that the circuit is completely de-energized
(dead) by measuring the circuit voltage to ensure that zero volts
(AC/DC) is present before taking any resistance measurements.
Exposing live voltage to the Ohms circuit by misuse or abuse may
result in injury to the operator and damage to the meter and equip-
ment under test. The extent of injury and damage will depend on
the level of voltage and current in the circuit.
To Measure Resistance (Ohms):
• Verify the circuit is completely de-energized.
• Set the rotary switch to the highest range (Rx100) in the OHM function.
• Insert the red test lead fully into the + input jack on the meter and fully seat the
black test lead into the – input jack on the meter.
• Short the red and black test lead tips together and adjust the Zero Dial until
the pointer is directly over the zero position on the right end of the Ω labeled
green arc (top arc on the display).
Note: If the pointer cannot be zeroed, then the battery should be replaced.
• Apply the test leads to the component or dead circuit under test.
• Follow the MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE on page 4 to maximize accuracy.
• Read the ohms measurement using the Ω labeled green arc (top arc on the
display).
To Perform a Battery Check:
• Set the rotary switch to the 1.5V or 9V range on the B.TEST function.
• Insert the red test lead fully into the + input jack on the meter and fully seat the
black test lead into the – input jack on the meter.
• Apply the red test lead tip to the positive (+) battery contact and the black test
lead tip to the negative (-) battery contact.
