OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! When making voltage or current measurements, develop the habit of turning off all power to the circuit under test. Connect the test leads at the desired points in the circuit, and then turn on the power while taking readings. Turn off the power before disconnecting the test leads from the circuit.
“OFF” range position, this provides direct short across meter movement for minimum needle bounce when transporting meter. 9. If you should accidentally apply excessive voltage or current on a certain range, disconnect the leads from the circuit as quickly as possible, check instrument operation on that range by applying peoper input.

3. Set the Zero Ω adjustor to place the pointer exactly to the Central Zero position if need. 4. Connect the test leads across the circuit or load under measurement. 5. Take the readings on the Red dial Null DCV scale. NOTE: If the needle failed to be set at Central Zero position, the power of 9V battery may be weak and should be replaced by new one for normal working.

3. Check the needle position and the get the reading on V.A scale. Note: Excessive current input across mA range will blow the fuse that must be replaced by a same fuse rating 0.5A/250V or 10A/250V. The max. testing time once must be not more than 15sec.
the test leads from the circuit as to avoid damage to this tester. (This tester can afford the voltage <250V DC/AC rms. for the period of 5 seconds max.) Diode Measurement 1. Set the selector switch to the appropriate Ω range to be used. NOTE: To test the diode while current below 0.060 mA at X 10K range;...

Transistor hFE and LED Test 1. Set the selector switch to the R X 10 range. FOR Measuring Transistor hFE 2. Take note the type of transistor “PNP” or “NPN” and then insert the transistor terminals of the Emitter, Base and Collector separately into the proper holes of the socket on the front panel.

Decibels Measurement Set the selector switch to AC 10V range. Connect the BLACK test lead to the “-COM” jack and the RED test lead to the Red “+” jack. Connect the test leads to the measuring circuit specially in series with a 0.047μF/400V Metalized Polyester Capacitor. And then read the bottom Red dB scale.
TROUBLESHOOTING Nevertheless, problems or malfunctions may occur. For this reason, the following is a description of how you can eliminate possible malfunctions yourself: Error Possible cause The multimeter does Are the batteries exhausted? not work. Check the state of the batteries and the fuse 0.5A.
MAINTENANCE Replacement for Battery and/or Fuse should only be done after the test leads have been disconnected and POWER OFF. 1. Battery Replacement - 1.5V Battery (Pls. see the Picture below for reference) 1). This tester uses 2pcs AAA size 1.5V batteries which are located under the lower battery cover together with the big tilt device on the lower part of the rear case.

2). Open the big lower tilt device on the rear case and then turn the lock by 90°degree and take off the cover of the battery cabinet together with the big tilt device. 3). The old fuses inside their holders located on the PCB can be visible and access to be removed.
