2 Setting Up
2.1
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
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 PROMAX
responsible for this service or the PROMAX 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 PROMAX distributor responsible for this
business or the PROMAX local offices. If there is
damage to the instrument caused by the transportation,
please keep the package.

2.2
Install the Batteries
The multimeter is powered by two 1.5 V AA alkaline
batteries (not included).
WARNING:
T
o avoid false readings, which
could lead to possible electric
shock or personal injury, replace
the battery as soon as the low
battery indicator
appears.
Before replacing the battery, turn
off the meter,
disconnect test
leads and any connectors from
any circuit under test, remove test
leads from the input terminals.
Use only the specified battery
type.
Use the following procedure to install the batteries.
Ensure that the rotary switch is at the position.
Remove test leads and any connectors from the input
terminals.
Lift the tilt stand and loosen the screws with a suitable
Phillips screwdriver and remove the battery cover.
Observe the battery polarity indicated inside the
battery compartment, Insert the batteries.
Place the battery cover back in its original position
and tighten the screws.
Page 4 June 2016
CAUTION:
T
o avoid instruments being
damage from battery leakage,
always remove the batteries and
store them separately if the
multimeter is not going to be used
for a long period.
2.3
Adjusting the Tilt Stand
Pull the tilt- stand outward to its maximum reach (about
85 ° to the meter body).
2.4
Power On
To power ON the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to
any other position except
.
To power OFF the multimeter, turn the rotary switch
to the
position.
2.5
Sleep Mode
The multimeter automatically enters the sleep mode if the
rotary switch is not moved or a key is not pressed for
15 minutes. (When the Bluetooth is activated, this
function is disabled).
Pressing any key will turn the multimeter back to
operation mode from the sleep mode.
One minute before auto power-off, the buzzer will sound
“beep” five times to warn. Before it is shut off, the buzzer
will sound a long ”beep” then shut off.
June 2016 Page 5
NOTE: In sleep mode, the multimeter will still consume
a little power. If the multimeter
is not going to
be used for a long period, the power should be
turned off.
2.6
Backlight Control
To view the display in low-light conditions, you can
activate the LCD backlight by pressing
for
more than 2 seconds.
To turn off the backlight, press
for more than
2 seconds.
The backlight will last for 60 seconds.
2.7
Selecting the Range
Auto ranging is set as default when the meter is
powered on,
is displayed.
When auto ranging is enabled, press to enter
the manual range mode.
In manual range, each additional press of sets
the multimeter to the next higher range, unless it is
already in the highest range, at which point the range
switches to the lowest range.
When manual range is enabled, press for
more than 2 seconds to enter the auto ranging mode.
Note: Manual range is not available when measuring
capacitance.
