Safety Considerations

Before any operations, please read the following safety precautions to avoid any possible bodily injury and prevent damage to this product or any other products connected. To avoid any contingent danger, use this product only as specified.
Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings. Do not use the multimeter if it is damaged. Before you use the multimeter, inspect
the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
Do not use the test leads provided for other products. Use only the certified test
leads specified for this product.
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Before use, verify the multimeter's operation by measuring a known voltage. Only the qualified technicians can implement the maintenance. Always use the specified battery type. The power for the multimeter is supplied with
two standard AA 1.5 V batteries. Observe the correct polarity markings before you insert the batteries to ensure proper insertion of the batteries in the multimeter.
Check all Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, check all ratings and
markers of this product. Refer to the user's manual for more information about ratings before connecting to the multimeter.
Do not operate the multimeter with the cover or portions of the cover removed or
loosened.
Use Proper Fuse. Use only the specified type and rating fuse for the multimeter. Do not operate if in any doubt. If you suspect damage occurs to the multimeter,
have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations.
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere. Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Do not apply more than the rated voltage (as marked on the multimeter) between
terminals, or between terminal and earth ground.
When measuring current, turn off the circuit power before connecting the
multimeter in the circuit. Remember to place the multimeter in series with the circuit.
When servicing the multimeter, use only the specified replacement parts. Use caution when working above 60 V DC, 30 V AC RMS, or 42.4 V peak. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.

When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test
leads.
Remove the test leads from the multimeter before you open the battery cover. To avoid false readings, which may lead to possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator

resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements. When the
range of the value to be measured is unknown, set the rotary switch position as the highest range, choose the auto ranging mode. To avoid damages to the multimeter, do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical specification tables.
Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you
disconnect the leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
Before changing functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

Measurement Category

The multimeter has a safety rating of 1000 V, CAT III.
Measurement category definition
Measurement CAT I applies to measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to the AC mains. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from the AC mains and specially protected (internal) mains- derived circuits.
Measurement CAT II applies to protect against transients from energy-consuming equipment supplied from the fixed installation, such as TVs, PCs, portable tools, and other household circuits.
Measurement CAT III applies to protect against transients in equipment in fixed equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits, and lighting systems in large buildings.
Measurement CAT IV applies to measurements performed at the source of the low­voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary over current protection devices and ripple control units.

General Inspection

After you get a new multimeter, make a check on the instrument according to the following steps:
1. Check whether there is any damage caused by transportation.
If it is found that the packaging carton or the foamed plastic protection cushion has suffered serious damage, do not throw it away first till the complete device and its accessories succeed in the electrical and mechanical property tests.
2. Check the Accessories
The supplied accessories have been already described in the Appendix A: Enclosure of this Manual. You can check whether there is any loss of accessories with reference to this description. If it is found that there is any accessory lost or damaged, please get in touch with the distributor of Lilliput responsible for this service or the Lilliput's local offices.
3. Check the Complete Instrument
If it is found that there is damage to the appearance of the instrument, or the instrument can not work normally, or fails in the performance test, please get in touch with the Lilliput's distributor responsible for this business or the Lilliput's local offices. If there is damage to the instrument caused by the transportation, please keep the package. With the transportation department or the Lilliput's distributor responsible for this business informed about it, a repairing or replacement of the instrument will be arranged by the Lilliput.

6. Bluetooth Function – B35(T) only
B35(T) multimeter supports communications with Android based smart device through Bluetooth. You can use the free application software on the Android based smart devices to monitor the measurements, per form remote control, view trending graphs, etc. The recorded data can be saved as.CSV file. More than one meters can be connect simultaneously.
Note: Bluetooth connectivity works over a range of about 10 meters. The work range is much longer in open-sided and non-occluded wide range environment, even up to 20 meters. If the Bluetooth function in the multimeter is idle for 10 minutes, the Bluetooth will be turned off automatically. Before turning off, the buzzer will sound “BeBe” tw o times.

You can input the customized name, this name will be memorized in the device. If this meter is connected to the same device next time, the customized name will be shown. If this meter is connected to another device, the name is still the default one or the customized name to the connected device.
Add meter: In double view, click softkey.
Select meter: In single or double view, click or softkey.
Disconnect meter: In single or double view, click or the meter name.
Remote Control: In single view, the control softkeys (blue background softkeys, as
Hold, Rel, Select, etc.) can be short or long pressed to perform control, just as press the corresponding keys of multimeter.

Appendix C: Fuse Replacement

Use the following procedure to replace the fuse.
1. Ensure that the rotary switch is at the
any connectors from the input terminals.
2. Lift the tilt stand and loosen the screws with a suitable Phillips screwdriver and
remove the battery cover.
3. Pry the fuse cover open using a straight screwdriver, replace the fuse. Use only
the fuse of the specified rating (1 A / 250 V).
4. Place the battery cover back in its original position and tighten the screws.
