I WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC Iand DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great Ica re.1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when themeter is not in use.2. If "OL" appears in the display during a measurement, the valueexceeds the range you have selected. Change to a higher range.NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the testleads not connected to a device, the display may show arandom, changing reading. This is normal and is caused bythe high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and givea proper measurement when connected to a circuit.DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTSI CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the Icircuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges mayIoccur that can damage the meter.1. Set the function switch to the V position.2. Press the MODE button to select DC (ifnecessary).3. Insert the black test lead banana plug intothe negative COM jack.Insert the red test lead banana plug into thepositive V jack.4. Touch the black test probe tip to the negativeside of the circuit.Touch the red test probe tip to the positiveside of the circuit.5. Read the voltage in the display.c_12
