2) Press “SELECT” key to choose “DC” measurement. 3) Zero the reading by pressing “REL△” key for a reading of zero on the display. 4) Disconnect the test leads from the Meter. 5) Clamp the Jaws around the one conductor to be measured. Center the conductor within the Jaw using the Centering Marks as guides.

2) Set the selector switch to desired “ ” position. 3) Connect tip of the test leads to the points where the value of the capacitance is needed. 4) Read the result from the LCD panel. Note: a) Before testing, discharge the capacitor by shorting its leads together.
3.8 Temperature Measurement 1) Connect the black test lead of the sensor to "COM" socket and red test lead to the "VΩHz" socket. 2) Set the selector switch to desired “℃/℉” position. 3) Press “SELECT” key to choose “℃” or “℉”measurement. 4) Put the sensor probe into the temperature field under measurement.
Before changing the battery, set the selector switch to “OFF” position. Open the cover of the battery cabinet by a screwdriver. Replace the old battery with the same type battery. Close the battery cabinet cover and fasten the screw. Caution: Dispose the used batteries according to the rules, which are defined by each community.
