2. Axuste o interruptor rotatorio ao volume de CC desexadotage (V=) range (e.g., 200m, 2000m, 20, 200, 500). If the voltagSe e é descoñecido, comece co rango máis alto (500 V) e diminúa segundo sexa necesario.
3. Conecte os cables de proba ao compoñente ou circuíto que se vai medir, observando a polaridade.
4. Le o voltago valor da pantalla LCD.

6.2 Medición AC Voltage (V~)

1. Connect the test leads as described in Section 5.2 (COM and VΩmACF).
2. Axuste o interruptor rotatorio ao volume de CA desexadotage (V~) range (e.g., 200, 500). If the voltagSe e é descoñecido, comece co rango máis alto (500 V) e diminúa segundo sexa necesario.
3. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured. Polarity is not critical for AC voltage.
4. Le o voltago valor da pantalla LCD.

6.3 Medición da corrente continua (A=)

1. For 200mA or less: Connect the black test lead to COM and the red test lead to VΩmACF.
2. For 10A: Connect the black test lead to COM and the red test lead to 10A.
3. Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A=) range (e.g., 20m, 200m, 10A). Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
