Always connect the test leads correctly for accurate and safe measurements:

1. Tinye ụzọ ule ojii n'ime COM (common) jack.
2. Maka ọtụtụ nha (mkpụrụ)tage, resistance, diode, hFE, and current up to 200mA), insert the red test lead into the VmA jakị.
3. For high current measurements (up to 10A), insert the red test lead into the 10A jakị.

7. Ntuziaka ọrụ

Before making any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function and range.

7.1 Na-atụ DC Voltage (V=)

1. Fanye ndu uhie n'ime VmA jack and the black lead into the COM jakị.
2. Tọọ mgba ọkụ rotary na DC Vol achọrọtage (V=) range. Start with the highest range if the voltage amaghi.
3. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured (in parallel).
4. Gụọ voltage value on the LCD display. The display will show the correct polarity.

7.2 Na-atụ AC Voltage (V~)

1. Fanye ndu uhie n'ime VmA jack and the black lead into the COM jakị.
2. Tọọ mgba ọkụ na-agbanwe agbanwe na AC Vol achọrọtage (V~) range. Start with the highest range if the voltage amaghi.
3. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured (in parallel).

7.3 Measuring DC Current (A=)

Caution: Never connect the multimeter in parallel with a voltagisi iyi mgbe ị na-atụ ọkụ eletrik, n'ihi na nke a nwere ike ịfụ fuse ma ọ bụ mebie mita ahụ.

1. Determine the expected current. For currents up to 200mA, insert the red lead into the VmA jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red lead into the 10A jack. Always insert the black lead into the COM jakị.
2. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate DC Current (A=) range. Start with the highest range if the current is unknown.
3. Turn off power to the circuit. Open the circuit where the current is to be measured.
4. Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit.
5. Restore power to the circuit and read the current value on the LCD display.

7.4 Measuring Resistance (Ω)

Caution: Ensure the circuit is completely de-energized and all capacitors are discharged before measuring resistance.

1. Fanye ndu uhie n'ime VmA jack and the black lead into the COM jakị.
