If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and store the meter in its carrying case in a cool, dry place.

8. Datrys Problemau

  • Dim Arddangosfa: Gwiriwch osodiad y batri a'r lefel gwefr. Newidiwch y batris os oes angen.
  • Darlleniadau anghywir: Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Verify the correct function is selected on the rotary dial. Check for proper contact with the circuit. For current measurements, ensure only one conductor is within the clamp gên.
  • Dim Bîp Parhad: Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Check if the resistance is above the continuity threshold (typically 40Ω).
