3. Connect the test probes across the AC voltage isi iyi.
4. Gụọ voltage uru na dijitalụ ngosi.

4.3 DC Current Measurement (A--)

1. Mkpa: Current measurements require the meter to be connected in series with the circuit. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the meter.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A--) range (e.g., 10A, 200mA, 20mA, 2000µA, 200µA).
3. For ranges up to 200mA, connect the red test lead to the "VΩmA" jack. For the 10A range, connect the red test lead to the "10A" jack. The black lead always connects to "COM".
4. Open the circuit where current is to be measured and insert the meter in series.
5. Apply power to the circuit and read the current value on the display.
6. After measurement, disconnect power, remove the meter, and restore the circuit.

4.4 Resistance Measurement (Ω)

1. Ịdọ aka ná ntị: Ensure the circuit or component under test is completely de-energized before measuring resistance.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 20000kΩ, 2000kΩ, 200kΩ, 20kΩ, 2000Ω, 200Ω).
3. Connect the black test lead to "COM" and the red test lead to "VΩmA".
4. Jikọọ nyocha ule n'ofe akụkụ ahụ.

4.5 Diode Test (→|→)

1. Set the rotary switch to the Diode Test position.
2. Connect the black test lead to "COM" and the red test lead to "VΩmA".
3. Connect the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode of the diode. The display should show a forward voltage drop (typically 0.5V to 0.8V for silicon diodes).
4. Reverse the probes. The display should show "OL" (Overload) for a good diode. If it shows a reading in both directions or "OL" in both directions, the diode is likely faulty.

4.6 Continuity Test (•))))

1. Set the rotary switch to the Continuity Test position.
2. Connect the black test lead to "COM" and the red test lead to "VΩmA".

8. Ozi nchekwa

This multimeter is designed to meet safety standards for electrical measuring instruments. However, improper use can result in electric shock or damage to the meter. Always follow these safety guidelines:

• Etinyekwala ihe karịrị ogo voltage between the input terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
• Jiri nlezianya dị oke egwu mgbe ị na-arụ ọrụ na voltages karịrị 30V AC RMS, 42V elu, ma ọ bụ 60V DC. Vol ndị atages na-ebute ihe egwu ujo.
• Always disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance or continuity.
• Ensure the rotary switch is in the correct position for the measurement being performed.
• Never measure current on a circuit with power applied if the test leads are connected to the "VΩmA" or "10A" jacks and the rotary switch is set to a voltage or resistance function. This can blow the fuse or damage the meter.
• Ejila mita ahụ ma ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ka ọ mebiri emebi ma ọ bụ ọ bụrụ na ụzọ ule mebiri emebi.
• Adhere to the CAT II 500V and CAT III 300V safety ratings. CAT III is for measurements in building installation (e.g., distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, e.g., stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation). CAT II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation (e.g., household appliances, portable tools).
• Keep fingers behind the probe barriers during measurements.
