Safety precautions

Before using the device, please read the safety precautions and follow the operating instructions. Failure to follow the relevant operating instructions may weaken or lose the protective ability provided by the device to you.

Before use, the multimeter and probe should be checked to prevent any damage or abnormal phenomena. If it is found that the insulation of the probe and housing has been significantly damaged, and the LCD display is not displaying, or if you believe that the device is no longer functioning properly, do not continue to use it.
It is strictly prohibited to use the device until the back cover and battery cover are properly covered to prevent the risk of electric shock and endangering one’s own safety.
When conducting measurements, the fingers holding the pen should not exceed the position where the pen stops, and should not touch exposed wires, connectors, unused input terminals, or the circuit being measured to prevent electric shock.
Before measurement, the function switch must be placed in the correct position, and shifting gears during measurement is strictly prohibited to prevent damage to the device.
Do not apply an AC/DC voltage greater than 600V between the device terminal and ground to prevent electric shock and damage to the device .
When the measured DC voltage is higher than 60V or AC voltage is higher than 30Vrms, the device should be used with caution to prevent electric shock.
Do not measure voltage or current above the maximum allowable input value. Before measuring the online resistance, diode, or circuit on/off, it is necessary to cut off all power sources in the circuit and start the measurement after all capacitors have been discharged, otherwise the measurement results may be inaccurate.
When the LCD display shows the “ ” sign, the battery should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure measurement accuracy. When the device is not in use for a long time, the battery should be removed.
Please do not change the internal wiring of the device at will to avoid damaging the device and endangering safety.
Do not store or use this device in environments with high temperature, humidity, flammability, explosiveness, and strong electromagnetic fields .
For maintenance, please use a soft cloth and neutral detergent to clean the device casing.
Do not use abrasives or solvents to prevent the casing from being corroded, damaging the device, and endangering safety.

Connect the test probes in series to the tested circuit and ensure reliable contact. The screen will display the current value of the tested circuit.

! Attention:

Before connecting the multimeter in series to the circuit to be tested, the power source in the circuit must be turned off first, and the input terminals and their range switch positions must be carefully checked for correctness. Only after confirming that there are no errors can the power be turned on for measurement.
If the “mA/IJA” and “A” input sockets are overloaded or misoperated, the built-in fuse may blow, and the fuse must be replaced according to specifications.
When testing the current range, do not connect the probes in parallel to any voltage circuit to avoid damaging the multimeter and endangering personal safety.
