FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What should I do if the display freezes?
- A: If the display freezes, try turning off the multimeter and restarting it. If the issue persists, refer to the troubleshooting section in the user manual or contact customer support.
- Q: How do I perform a continuity test?
- A: To perform a continuity test, connect the test leads to the continuity terminals and touch the probes together. If there is continuity (low resistance), the multimeter will emit a beep sound.

Safety Information
To avoid possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, please read all safety information before you use the product. Please use the product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the product can be compromised.
- Examine the case before you use the product. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals.
- The measurement must be made with correct input terminals and functions and within the allowable measuring range.
- Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
- Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
- When the product has already been connected to the line being measured, do NOT touch the input terminal that is not in service.
- Disconnect the test leads from the circuit before changing the mode.
- When the voltage to be measured exceeds 36V DC or 25V AC, the operator shall be careful enough to avoid electric shock.
- Misuse of mode or range can lead to hazards, be cautious. “ 0L ” will be shown on the display when the input is out of range.
- Low level of a battery will result in incorrect readings. Change the batteries when battery level is low. Do not make measurements when the battery door is not properly placed.

Measurements Instruction
Measure AC/DC Voltage
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the Terminal.
- To measure voltage under 99.99mV, turn the rotary to .To measure voltage higher than 99.99mV, turn the rotary to , press SELECT to turn to AC voltage test mode.
- Touch the probes to the correct test points of the circuit to measure the voltage.
- Read the measured voltage on the screen.
Do not measure voltage that exceeds the extremes as indicated in the
Specifications.
Do not touch high voltage circuit during measurements.
Measure AC/DC Current
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the A or μA /mA Terminal (choose based on the value of the current to be measured);
- Turn the rotary to ;
- Break the circuit path to be measured, connect the test leads across the break and apply power;
- Read the measured current on the display.
Do not measure current that exceeds the extremes as indicated in the Specifications.
Use the AmA Terminal when you are measuring an unknown current. Then switch to the μA Terminal if necessary.
*Do not input voltage at this setting.
Measure Resistance
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the test lead to the Terminal;
- Turn the rotary to , press “SELECT” to the Resistance Mode. The screen will show “ OL ”;
- Touch the probes to the desired test points of the circuit to measure the resistance;
- Read the measured resistance on the display.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before you test resistance.
Do not input voltage at this setting.
Test Diodes and Continuity
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the Terminal;
- Turn the rotary to , press “SELECT” to the continuity Mode;
- To test continuity, touch the probes to the desired test points of the circuit. The built-in beeper will beep when there is a short circuit;
- To test diodes, connect the red probe to the anode side and the black probe to the cathode side of the diode being tested. Then read the forward bias voltage value on the display. If the polarity of the test leads is reversed with diode polarity or the diode is broken, the display reading shows “ OL ”.
Do not input voltage at this setting.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before you test diode.
Measure Capacitance
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the Terminal;
- Turn the rotary to , press “SELECT” to the capacitance Mode;
- Connect the red probe to the anode side and the black probe to the cathode side of the diode being tested;
- Read the measured capacitance value on the display once the reading is stabilized.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors before you test diode.
Measure Frequency and Duty Cycle
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the Terminal;
- Turn the rotary switch to , press SELECT to frequency test function (≥10V，1~100KHz); or turn the rotary switch to , press SELECT to frequency test function (≤10V，1~5MHz);
- If the frequency between 100kHz and 5MHz, press SELECT to enter AC mV position. Touch the probes to the desired test points, now the vice display will show frequency; Then press the SELECT again, the main display will show frequency and vice display will show duty cycle.
Measure Temperature
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the Terminal;
- Turn the rotary to , press “SELECT” to the temperature Mode; Now the main display will show Celsius and the vice display will show Fahrenheit;
- Touch the probes to the desired test points;
- Read the measured temperature on the display.
Do not input voltage at this setting.
Test NCV
- Turn the rotary to NCV position, press “SELECT” to the temperature Mode;
- Hold the product and move it around, the built-in beeper will beep when the inner sensor detects AC voltage nearby. The stronger the voltage is, the quicker the beeper beeps.
Measure V.F.C
- Connect the black test lead to the COM Terminal and the red lead to the Terminal;
- Turn the rotary to , long press to enter V.F.C mode, the screen will show voltage when put the test leads at the correct circuit.
