PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
AUTO POWER-ON
1. Short-circuiting the probes (as
illustrated in Fig. 1) powers on the
instrument automatically and goes
into a Self-Diagnostic Test.
NOTE: Instrument may power on due to the
influence of static charge.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
WARNING! Do not use the instrument when an abnormality is
found during the self-diagnostic test.
1. Battery voltage is normal when the Power LED lights up.
2. When the battery voltage is below 2.4±0.1V, the Power LED
flashes or goes off.
3. To replace batteries, see page 9.
4. If the self-diagnostic test cannot be performed before/after use of
the instrument, or the auto power off does not work :
• Unlock the battery case as shown on page 9 then lock it again after
5 seconds.
• Perform another self-diagnostic test.
MEASUREMENT
A self diagnostic test should be done prior to taking any measurements, in
order to ensure the proper working of the LED and buzzer. Test the instrument
on a known source before and after use. Keep your hands and fingers behind the barriers
on the probes during measurements.
