Digital Multimeter/English
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
2. For current measurements up to 200mA DC, set the function switch
to the highest DC mA position and insert the red test lead banana
plug into the (mA) jack.
3. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to
the 10A range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (10A)
jack.
4. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit
at the point where you wish to measure current.
5. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
6. Apply power to the circuit.
7. Read the current in the display. For mA DC measurements, reset the
function switch to successively lower mA DC positions to obtain a
higher resolution reading. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point and value.
Resistance Measurements
WARNING:To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the
unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
resistance measurements.

1. Set the function switch to the highest Ω position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is
best to disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest of the
circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.
4. Read the resistance in the display and then set the function switch to
the lowest Ω position that is greater than the actual or any
anticipated resistance. The display will indicate the proper decimal
point and value.
Continuity Check
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity
on circuits or wires that have voltage on them.
1. Set the function switch to the
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (Ω) jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire under test.
4. If the resistance is less than approximately 30Ω, the audible signal
will sound. If the circuit is open, the display will indicate "1".
