The large LCD display of this entry-level DMM makes this model ideal for all professional applications up to 600V.
At a keystroke, the input resistance can be temporarily reduced from 10MΩ to 400kΩ in order to avoid measuring errors due to stray voltages. The device is protected with comprehensive safeguards against misuse.
The battery and fuse compartment can only be opened if all measurement leads are removed from the measuring device. It is not possible to insert the measurement cables into the measurement sockets if the battery compartment and fuse compartment are open. This increases the security of the user.

I wanted a good, mid priced range, digital multi meter and I wasn't disappointed.
Pros: Nice tactile, large sized meter that feels good in the hand with a good quality feel to it. Not a 'compact' meter at all (which is just a polite way of saying 'small'). Large display with easy to read large numbers. The range dial feels smooth and yet positive as it's changed. It's not auto-ranging and while there are people who say manual-ranging multi meters are somehow 'inferior' to auto-ranging, my opinion is that auto-ranging is only really necessary if you truly need it. If you're just an electronics hobbyist or home DIY-er as opposed to a professional who would be using it all day, it's unlikely that you will need it.
Cons: I wouldn't really say there are any cons. The probes seem a bit generic and 'bog-standard' but I suspect they are the same on most multi meters you can buy.
If you switch to continuity on the meter and hold the probes together, there is a slight 'crackle' before the tone rings clear. If, however, you place a lead with a banana plug on each end into the two sockets and then check for continuity, the tone rings clear immediately so the 'problem' is with the probes and not the meter.
I would suggest this meter would benefit from some good quality after-market probes with gold plated tips. Otherwise, very happy indeed.
