WARNING
Beware of Electrocution.

test, otherwise incorrect test value might be
obtained.
2) For optimum results, press the “SEL” button to
make the meter get into zero first.
3) For optimum results, center the conductor in the jaw.
4) At the manual range mode, when only 'O L' or '-O L'
is shown on the LCD, it means the measurement
has exceeded the range. A higher range should
be selected.
5) Under the manual range mode, when the scale
of the value to be measured is unknown beforehand,
set the range to the highest.
6) “ ”means the maximum input current is 600A DC.
4.11.1 Set the rotary selector to the A range position.
4.11.2 Auto range mode or manual range mode can be
