Étape 1 - Before using the multimeter, perform "zero adjustment".




Étape 2 - When there is no measured power, make the pointer of the multimeter point to the position of zero voltage or zero current.




Étape 3 - The multimeter must be placed horizontally when used to avoid errors.




Étape 4 - Do not touch the metal part of the test lead with your hands to ensure accurate measurement and personal safety.




Étape 5 - When measuring a certain amount of electricity, especially for high voltage or large current, you cannot shift gears while measuring, otherwise the multimeter will be damaged.




Étape 6 - If there is a need to shift gears, disconnect the test leads first and then shift gears for next measurement.




Étape 7 - After the multimeter is used, set the transfer switch to the maximum block of AC voltage.




Étape 8 - If the multimeter is not used for a long time, take out the battery inside the multimeter.
