1.Safety Information
This multimeter has been designed according to
EN-61010 concerning electronic measuring instruments
with an overvoltage category CAT III 600V and pollution 2.
With proper use and care, the digital multimeter will
give you 1 years of satisfactory service.
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure
that the meter is used safely and is kept in good
operating condition.
To ensure safe operation, and in order to exploit
to the full the functionality of the meter, please
follow the directions in this section carefully.
WARNING
1.1 Preliminary
1.1.1 When using the meter, the user must observe all
normal safety rules concerning:
• Protection against the dangers of electrical current.
Protection of the meter against misuse.
1.1.2 When the meter is delivered, check that it has not
been damaged in transit.
1.1.3 When poor condition under harsh preservation or
shipping conditions caused, inspect and confirm
this meter without delay.
1.1.4 Test leads must be in good condition. Before using
verify that the insulation on test leads is not
damaged and/or the leads wire is not exposed.

1.2 During Use
1.2.1 Before using, you must select the right input jack,
function and range.
1.2.2 Never exceed the protection limit values indicated
in specifications for each range of measurement.
1.2.3 When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit,
do not touch unused terminals.
1.2.4 At the manual range, when the value scale to be
measured is unknown beforehand, set the range
selector at the highest position.
1.2.5 Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the
terminals exceeds 600V above earth ground.
1.2.6 Always be careful when working with voltages
above 60V DC or 30V AC rms, keep fingers
behind the probe barriers while measuring.
1.2.7 Never connect the meter leads across a voltage
source while the transform switch is in the
current, resistance, temperature, battery, diode,
transistor or continuity mode. Doing so can
damage the meter.
1.2.8 Before rotating the transform switch to change
functions and ranges, disconnect test leads from
the circuit under test.
1.2.9 Never perform resistance, temperature,
transistor, diode and continuity measurements
on live circuits.
1.2.10 Never use the meter under the condition of the
explosive air, steam or dirt.
1.2.11 If any faults or abnormalities are observed,
the meter can not be used any more and it has
to be checked out.
1.3 Symbols
1.2.12 Never use the meter unless the rear case is in
place and fastened fully.
1.2.13 Please do not store or use meter in areas
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature,
humidity or condensation.

4. Operating Instruction
4.1 Power-UP
Press the ‘ON/OFF’ button to turn the meter ON or OFF.
4.2 Data Hold
If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on
‘DATA-H’ button, it will hold the reading; if you put the
button again, data hold is not continue.
hFE
4.5 Range Transform
The auto range is used when measuring the current,
voltage, capacitance and resistance. Put down the ‘RANGE’
if the manual range is needed. Each time you put down,
range will go upward; the minimum range is transformed
if ‘RANGE’ is put down at the maximum range. If the
‘RANGE’ is put down more than two seconds, auto range
is used again.
4.6 Back Light
If the light is dark to make the reading difficult when
measuring, you can press ‘ ’ button to turn on the back
light, which will last for 15 seconds. Continuous pressing
the button for two seconds will turn off the back light.
Note:
LED is the main source of back light. Its working current
is large, although the meter has the timer equipment
(time is 15 seconds and it will off automatically after 15
seconds); often use back light will shorten the battery
life, you'd better not to use the back light so frequently if
it's not necessary.
4.3 Maximum Value Hold
If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on
‘MAX.H’ button, it will hold the maximum value; if you
put the button again, maximum value hold is not continue.
4.4 Function Transform
Put down the ‘FUNC.’ when measuring the current and
voltage. Meter will be transformed between DC and AC
range. Put 'FUNC.' when measuring the temperature,
meter will transform between ˚Cand ˚F range. Put ‘FUNC.’
when measuring the diode and continuity, meter will
transform among them.

(0.1A/0.01mV), the indicated value will be 10 times
lower than the measured value. For example, the
measured current is 100A, then the indicated value
will be 10.0A.

4.15 Measuring Resistance
4.15.1 Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and
the red test lead to the INPUT jack.
4.15.2 Set the transform switch at the Ω range position.
Auto range or manual range can be transformed
by putting the 'RANGE'.
4.15.3 Connect test leads across the resistance under
measurement.
4.15.4 You can get reading from LCD.
Note:
• At the manual range mode, when only the figure 'OL'
is displayed, it indicates overrange situation and the
higher range has to be selected.
For measuring resistance above 1MΩ, the meter may
take a few seconds to get stable reading.
•
• When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit,
the figure 'OL' will be displayed for the overrange
condition.
