Your RadioShack Clamp-On AC Am- meter with Detachable Multimeter is designed with a precision meter movement to avoid mechanical shock damage. Your portable, compact mul- timeter is ideal for field, lab, shop, bench, and home applications. The multimeter measures DC and AC cur- rent, DC and AC voltage, and resis- tance.

Important:

This multimeter is designed for indoor use only.

Completely read this manual before you use the multimeter.

If you are not familiar with multi- meters and testing procedures, we suggest you read the book Using Your Meter (available at your local RadioShack store) before you use this multimeter.

Here are some features that make your multimeter a real pro:

Detachable Clamp-On AC Ammeter

lets you measure AC current by simply clamping around a wire quickly and safely.

Hold Function — lets you easily hold the displayed value when measuring AC current, so you can see the read- ing even after you disconnect the am- meter.

Fuse and Diode Protection — help

protect the multimeter.

Battery Condition Testing — the multimeter shows when you need to replace the battery.

Detachable Test Leads — let you store the multimeter neatly and con- nect the test leads only when you need to use the multimeter.
