AC current measuring

WARNING: Shut down the power of the tested circuit, then connect the meter with the circuit for measurement.

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the mA jack for a maximum of 400mA current. For a maximum of 10A, move the red lead to the 10A jack.
2. Set the transform switch at the desired A range position.
3. Put down the "FUNC." to enter the AC measurement. At mA range, auto range or manual range can be transformed by putting the "RANGE".
4. Connect test leads in series with the load under measurement.
5. You can get reading from LCD.
   
   NOTE:
   - When only the figure 'OL' is displayed, it indicates overrange situation and the higher range has to be selected.
   - When the value scale to be measured is unknown beforehand, set the range selector at the highest position.
   - "" means the maximum current of mA socket is 400mA, the maximum current of 10A socket is 10A, over-current will destroy the fuse.

AC voltage measuring

WARNING: You can’t input the voltage which more than 600V rms AC, it’s possible to show higher voltage, but it’s may destroy the inner circuit. Pay attention not to get an electric shock when measuring high voltage.

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the V jack.
2. Set the transform switch at the V range position.
3. Put down the "FUNC." to enter the AC measurement. Auto range or manual range can be transformed by putting the "RANGE".
4. Connect test leads across the source or load under measurement.
5. You can get reading from LCD.
   
   NOTE:
