To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor before measuring.
Figure 5.6 Capacitance test setup.
1. Rotate the function switch to the capacitance position
2. Use the MODE button to select the capacitance function.
3. Insert the black test lead plug into the negative COM jack.
4. Insert the red test lead plug into the positive jack.
5. Touch the black test probe tip to one side of the device. Touch the red test
probe tip to the other side of the device.
