How to Use the Meter
This section describes your meter and how to use it.

Items 1-4 describe the input terminals. (See Table 1 for
overload limits.) If the test leads are connected to the
Amperes input terminal, and the function selector switch is
not in the Amp measurement position, the beeper will emit
an Input Alert. An Input Alert will also sound if the test
leads are connected to the mA uA terminal and the
function switch is not in either Amp position. After an Input
Alert sounds, the meter will attempt to take a reading from
inputs applied to the

terminal. Input Alert can be
disabled by pressing
