Using the Fluke 117 is a breeze. First, insert the 9V battery that comes with it. Then, attach the test lead set (TL75) to the appropriate ports. You can use the non - contact voltage detection feature by simply holding the multimeter near the area you want to check. For other measurements like resistance or frequency, select the right function on the user - friendly interface. When working in low - light areas, turn on the large white LED backlight. Be careful to avoid using it in areas with a voltage higher than its CAT III 600 V safety rating. After each use, put it back in the integrated holster. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place and replace the battery when it runs low. Also, if you're not using the optional magnetic hanger (ToolPak™), keep it in a safe place for future use.
