OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CAUTION: * Before attempting to insert transistors capacitor thermocouple for testing, always be sure that test lest leads have been disconnected from any measurement circuits. * Components should not be connected to the hFE and capacitor and the thermocouple socket when making voltage measure with test leads. *Using this appliance in an environment with a strong radiated radio – frequency electromagnetic field (approximately 3V/m), may influence its measuring accuracy. The measuring result can be strongly deviating from the actual value.

6. BATTERY & FUSE REPLACEMENT If the sign” ”appears on the LCD display, it indicates that battery should be replaced.
Remove screws on the back cover and open the case. Replace the exhausted battery with a new one. Fuse rarely need replacement and blow almost always as a result of the operator’s error. Open the case as mentioned above, and then take the PCB out from the front cover. Replace the blown fuse with same ratings.
Before attempting to open the case, be sure that test leads have been disconnected from measurement circuits to avoid electric shock hazard. For protection against fire, replace fuse only with specified ratings: F1: F 2A/250V F2: F 10A/250V
