1. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test lead
to the
terminal.
2. Turn the rotary switch to

4. Connect the probes across the circuit or component to be tested.
5. View the reading at the lower display.
Capacitance: When measuring, be sure to note the correct polarity of the
capacitor.
Testing diode: When testing diode, normal forward voltage drop (forward
biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V. A reading
higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero reading
indicates a shorted diode (defective). Display reads "OL" indicates an open
diode (defective).
Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The
display reads "OL" if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the
diode is resistive or shorted (defective).
Measuring Temperature
Warning
W
To avoid electrical shock and injury:
• When measuring temperature, DO NOT apply the temperature probe
to any live conductive parts.
The meter measures temperature in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
1. Connect the plug of the type-K temperature probe to the meter's input
terminal. Consider correct polarity of the probe.
2. Turn the rotary switch to .
3. Press SELECT button to select °C or °F. The display reflects the chosen
temperature mode (°C or °F).
4. Position the probe to take the measurement. The reading appears on
the lower display.
