negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit. 4. Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to successively lower V DC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value. If the polarity is reversed, the display will show (-) minus before the value. AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present. CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter. 12

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:
Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be
long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets
for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the
outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the
outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are
touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming
that no voltage is present.
CAUTION:
Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the
circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may
occur that can damage the meter.
