3. For forward voltage drop readings on any
semiconductor component, place the red test lead
on the component's anode and place the black test
lead on the component's cathode. The red test lead
polarity is "+" while the black test lead polarity is "—

Connect the test leads to the proper terminals as
said above to avoid error display.
The LCD will display OL indicating either open
circuit or wrong polarity connection.
The unit of diode is volt (V), displaying the positive-
connection voltage-drop value.
When diode testing has been completed, disconnect
the connection between the testing leads and the
circuit under test and remove the test leads away
from the input terminals.
