WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

  • Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring a known voltage or current.
  • Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the category based rating of this meter.
  • Do not use the meter during electrical storms, or in wet weather.
  • Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.
  • Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep fi ngers away from the metal probe contacts when making measurements.
  • Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes are connected.
  • Use caution when working with voltages above 60V DC, or 25V AC RMS. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
  • To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock, replace batteries if a low battery indicator appears.
  • Unless measuring voltage or current, shut off and lock out power before measuring resistance or capacitance.
  • Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use individual protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

L. Temperature Input Jack

  • Input jack for K-type thermocouple probe.

M. Temperature Switch

  • Move the switch down to measure temperature, and up to measure all other functions that require standard test leads. Test leads must be removed before using the temperature function.

N. Temperature Adjustment

  • Remove battery cover.
  • Place temperature probe in distilled water with stirred crushed ice (a standard for 0°C and 32°F).
  • Use a fine tip screwdriver to adjust the screw recessed in the bottom right corner of the battery cavity as shown until the display reads 32°F.
