 Note :
(i) when input terminal is open, and highest digit “1” is marked on
display. It means the meter is over-range.
As measured resistor is higher then 1M Ω , it is a normal stages to
stabilize the reading within a few seconds.
Turn off the testing circuit power and discharge the capacitor before
measuring the resistor in circuit.
There are about 10 digits when the red & black test leads are in
short-circuit. Deduct the digits when measure 200MΩ range.
(9)Capacitance measurement
set the function in measure CAP position, until the reading is 0. It
is normal if the display shown 1 digit when measuring 20nF range.
Put the capacitor lead direct into the “Cx” terminal when testing. It
is no need to test by test-lead. (see figure 7)
Note :
(i) discharged the loaded capacitor before measuring.

Don’t insert the charged capacitor into terminal (especially in large
capacitance).

the reading is “hFE” approximately value, under the testing
condition of Ib approx 10uA, Vce approx 2.8V.
(12) Diode measuring
(a) set the function switch to position.
(b) connect the black test lead to “COM” terminal, and the red test
lead to “V Ω ” terminal. Please note the inner power of the red test
lead is in “+” polarity. Connect the test lead into the two ends of
tested diode. The display reading is the forward voltage drop of
diode. The unit is in voltage. It will be displayed over-range if the
diode is connected in an opposite direction.
Note :
(i) when the two test leads are in open-circuit, it will be displayed
over-range (only mark “1” on display).
approx 1mA will pass through the tested components.
following instruction fully and maintain your instrument properly.
don’t connect to the voltage which is over 1000 DCV or 700 ACV.
don’t turning the function/range switch while measuring, otherwise it
is very easy to damage the meter.
don’t operate it if the black-cover is not closed properly.
when replace the battery, turn off the power and disconnect the test
lead from the terminal. Unscrew the screw, and remove the battery
cover, replace the identical model battery.
when replace the fuse, turn off the power and disconnect the test lead
from the terminal. Unscrew the back-cover screw, and open the
back-cover.
fuse type : 0.2A / 250V
remove the battery in case of not use for a long time.
don’t change the inner circuit to avoid damage the meter.

Set the function switch into ºC position when measuring the
temperature, insert the black thermocouple into terminal, please note
the “+ -“ pole. The hot terminal thermocouple (testing point) put
into the testing position. Read the temperature value on the LCD
screen. The reading is ºC (for detail see figure 8).
Note :
(i) reading format : the temperature is automatically measured when
connected with thermocouple. When the thermocouple is not
inserted or the thermocouple is at the state of open-circuit, it is
shown the environmental temperature.

Note : the power should off when measuring the circuit.
Otherwise, it will damage the meter.
(14) Data Hold switch
Depress this switch when indicated value is desired to be held. “H”
mark is indicated in the display while indicated value is being held
for easy reading. To release “HOLD”, depress the switch or switch
over to function switch. “H” mark will disappear from the display
and return to ready mode.
(15) Backlight function
Depress the “LIGHT” key, the backlight will on. It is very easy to
read the display in the dark environment. Toggle the key, the
backlight will off.
(16) Display Angle section
This series of multimeters are provided with protection holsters,
which can support the meter in different angles as well as protection
to the meter. This is convenient to observe the reading.
