The following is a list of the troubles that you may meet while using the Multimeter and their solutions.
Please handle as the corresponding steps when meeting these troubles. If you still can’t handle them,
please contact SIGLENT in time.
1. If the screen of the Multimeter is still dark with nothing displaying after pressing the power key:
1) Check if the power has been connected correctly.
2) Check if the main power switch on the back panel has been turned on already.
3) Check if the power fuse has blown. Replace it as desired if it has blown.
4) Restart the Multimeter after all above steps have been done.
5) If the instrument still can’t start up properly, please contact SIGLENT.
2. The reading doesn’t change when connecting an AC current signal:
1) Check if the test lead has been connected to the current jack or LO jack correctly.
2) Check if the fuse in the current location on the back panel has blown.
3) Check if the measuring location has switched to the DCI or ACI place correctly.
4) Check if the input is ACI but the measuring location is in DCI place.
3. The reading doesn’t change when connecting a DC current signal:
1) Check if the test lead has been connected to the current jack or LO jack correctly.
2) Check if the fuse in the current location on the back panel has blown.
3) Check if the measuring location has switched to the DCI or ACI place correctly.

4. USB Disks can’t be recognized by the instrument.
