26.Diode Test
WARNING: Never test diodes in a live circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the Ω
2. Momentarily press the MODE
button until the "
3. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red test lead into the Ω input jack.
4. Touch the test lead probes to the diode under test.
5. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4 to 0.7 on the display. Reverse voltage will indicate "OL".
Shorted devices will indicate near 0 and an open device will indicate "OL" in both polarities.

27. Capacitance Measurements
WARNING: Safely discharge capacitors before taking capacitance measurements.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the Ω
2. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red test lead into the
jack.
3. Touch the test lead probes to the capacitor under test.
4. Read the capacitance value on the LCD display. It may take up to a minute to get a stable
reading on large capacitors.
28. Temperature Measurements
WARNING: Do not touch the temperature probe to live circuits.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the TEMP °F °C position.
2. Momentarily press the MODE
button to select readings in °F or °C.
3. Connect the Temperature Probe to the Banana Plug Adapter. Note the – and + markings on
the adapter. Connect the adapter to the meter, making sure the – side goes into the COM
input jack and the + side goes into the °F °C input jack.
4. Touch the tip of the Temperature Probe to the object being measured. Keeps the probe
touching the object until the reading stabilizes (about 30 sec).
5. Read the temperature on the LCD display.

29. Battery Replacement
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, remove the test leads from the meter
before removing the battery/fuse cover.
1. Lift up the tilt stand.
2. Loosen the one Phillips screw on the battery.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Replace the batteries with a 9V battery.
5. Observe proper polarity as shown inside battery compartment.
6. Install the battery and tighten the screw.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate meter until the battery
cover are securely fastened to the meter.
30. Fuse Replacement
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, remove the test leads from the meter
before removing the battery/fuse cover.
1. Lift up the tilt stand.

2. Loosen the one Phillips screw on the back cover.
3. Remove the back cover.
4. Gently remove fuse and install new fuse into the holder.
5. Always use a UL recognized fuse of the proper size and value: 800mA/1000V (6.3 x 32mm)
fast blow for the µA/mA ranges and 10A/1000V (10 x 38mm) fast blow for the 10A range.
6. Install the back cover and tighten the screw.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate meter until the back cover is
securely fastened to the meter.
