5. Arahan Operasi

5.1. Jldtage Pengukuran (DC/AC)

Untuk mengukur voltage:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'V' (Voltage) penetapan.
2. Tekan ke FUNGSI. button to toggle between DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current) voltage measurement. The display will show 'DC' or 'AC'.
3. Sambungkan petunjuk ujian merentasi litar atau komponen yang akan diukur.
4. Jilidtage bacaan akan muncul pada paparan.

5.2. Resistance, Continuity, and Diode Test

To measure resistance, continuity, or test diodes:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the Ω (Ohms) setting.
2. Tekan ke FUNGSI. button to cycle through Resistance (Ω), Continuity (buzzer icon), and Diode Test (diode icon) modes.
3. For resistance, connect the leads across the component. For continuity, touch the leads to both ends of the circuit; a beep indicates continuity. For diode test, connect leads across the diode.

5.3. Pengukuran Kapasiti

Untuk mengukur kapasiti:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the 'F' (Farad) setting.
2. Ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before connecting the test leads to prevent damage to the meter.
3. Connect the test leads to the capacitor terminals.
