4.1 Ntinye batrị
The PeakTech P 3131 requires two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:
- Gbaa mbọ hụ na agbanyụrụ ngwaọrụ ahụ.
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the rear of the meter.
- Jiri screwdriver imeghe oghere.
- Insert the two AAA batteries, observing correct polarity (+ and -).
- Dochie mkpuchi nke batrị batrị ma jiri nkedo chekwaa ya.
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements.

5.1 Gbanyụọ ma ọ bụ gbanyụọ
Rotate the function selector dial from the "OFF" position to any desired measurement function to power on the meter. To power off, rotate the dial back to "OFF". The meter features an automatic power-off function (can be deactivated) to conserve battery life.
5.2 Nha ugbu a AC/DC (Cl)amp)
To measure current without breaking the circuit:
- Tụgharịa ọkpụkpọ ahọpụtara ọrụ na A~ (AC Current) or A= ọnọdụ (DC Ugbu a).
- Pịa AC/DC button if you need to switch between AC and DC current modes (if the dial position combines them).
- Pịa ZERO button to zero the display before measuring DC current, especially for small currents, to compensate for residual magnetism.
- Mepee clamp agba site na ịpị ihe mkpali ahụ.
- Enclose only otu conductor with the clamp agba. Hụ na agba ahụ emechiela nke ọma.
- Gụọ uru dị ugbu a na ngosipụta LCD.

5.4 Resistance and Continuity Measurement
To measure resistance or check for continuity:
- Jikọọ ndị na-enye ule dịka akọwara na Nkebi nke 4.2.
- Tụgharịa ọkpụkpọ ahọpụtara ọrụ na Ω/))) (Resistance/Continuity) position.
- For resistance: Connect the test probes across the component. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
- For continuity: Touch the test probes to the two points you want to check. A continuous beep indicates a low-resistance path (continuity).

5.5 Ọrụ Pụrụ Iche
- Ezi RMS: The meter measures True Root Mean Square values for AC voltage and current, providing accurate readings for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
- Data Hold (H): Pịa H/MAX button briefly to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
- Maximum Value Hold (MAX): Pịa ma jide H/MAX button to capture and display the maximum measured value. Press again to exit.
- ZERO Function: Used to zero the display for DC current measurements to eliminate offset errors.
- Auto Ranging: The meter automatically selects the appropriate measurement range.
- Gbanyụọ ike akpaaka: The meter automatically turns off after a period of inactivity to save battery. This feature can typically be disabled by holding a specific button during power-on (refer to the device's on-screen indicators or a more detailed manual if available).
