measurement position
Instrument turns on but Peak Hold button pressed Look for PEAK or HOLD
LCD indicates some icons displayed on the LCD
unreasonable or HOLD button pressed Turn off one or both buttons
unchanging value
Short test leads together -
A value appears Stray voltage or EMF fields If a value near 000 appears,
on screen with no instrument is OK
input applied Move meter and leads
away from devices that
create electrical fields
Defective test leads Short test leads together

Expect less than .5Ω
A known value is not PEAK or HOLD buttons pressed Turn off one or both
displayed on the LCD buttons (check for icons
when measured on LCD)
Bad test lead connections Ensure test leads are fully
inserted and free of
corrosion or dirt
DC Amps not zeroed Move meter away from
power source and press
DC or ZERO for 2 seconds
Battery voltage Replace low battery
Jaws are not closed tight Clean top and bottom
mating surfaces of
clamp jaws
Meter reading is Rotary selector knob is offset Ensure knob is firmly
