Current measurements should be made as quickly as possible. Avoid taking
measurements for prolonged periods.
An optical and acoustic alarm is triggered when the measurement range is
exceeded.
Proceed as follows to measure direct currents (A):
Switch the multimeter on and select "10A, mA, or µA" mode.
The table shows the different measurement modes and the corresponding
measurement ranges. Select the desired measurement range and correspond-
ing measurement sockets.

Insert the red test lead into the mAµA or 10A measurement socket. Insert the
black test lead into the COM measurement socket.
Connect the two test probes in se-
ries to the object that you want to
measure (e.g. battery or circuit).
The electrical circuit must be dis-
connected before you connect the
probes.
Reconnect the circuit. The meas-
ured value appears on display.
After taking a measurement, dis-
connect the circuit and remove the
test leads from the measured ob-
ject. Switch the multimeter off.
