5-2.AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live
parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the
outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it.
Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming
that no voltage is present.
CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or
OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.
1.Set the function switch to the green VAC
position.
2.press the soft key labeled Menu. Move the
menu selector to the menu item labeled V
Press the soft key VAC
