Tips

Always verify the meter's operation on a known voltage source before and after testing a circuit. For current measurements, ensure the test leads are in the correct jacks and the circuit is de-energized when changing ranges. Use the NCV function only as a preliminary check; always confirm with direct contact measurement.
