Operating Instructions

Turn on meter with meter disconnected from circuit.
Check zero of meter as follows: connect lead across V-Ohm and Common inputs, depress DCV and 200 MV buttons, readout should read 1 digit or less.
Select the appropriate range and function and then connect the meter into the circuit, ensuring the correct pair of inputs are used. If the range is not know start at highest range and work down. If display does not show all digits lit up or if display flashes a higher range should be selected.
