5. OperatingInstructions
Important: Before operating this product, read and understand all the safety
instructions listed in this manual.
5.1 InstallingtheBattery
Slide the battery cover away from the battery compartment (4) on the rear of
the device and connect a 9V PP3 or equivalent battery to the contacts according
to the correct polarity. Insert the battery into the compartment and reinstall
the cover.
Important: DO NOT operate this device without the battery compartment cover
in place.
5.2 Testing1.5VBatteries(AAA,AA,C,Detc.)
1. Position the lower 1.5V battery test contact (1)
as appropriate and insert the battery according
to the marked polarity (Fig. 1).
2. To read the battery level, observe the position of
the gauge (7) needle against the scale band
marked “1.5V”.
− Green: The battery level is good.
− Yellow: The battery level is low.
− Red: The battery level is very low and the
battery cannot be used.
5.3 Testing9VBatteries(6F22,006P,etc.)
1. Connect the battery to the 9V battery test
contacts (2) according to the marked polarity
(Fig. 2).
2. To read the battery level, observe the position of
the gauge (7) needle against the scale band
marked “9V”.
− Green: The battery level is good.
− Yellow: The battery level is low.
− Red: The battery level is very low and the
battery cannot be used.
5.4 TestingFuses
1. Place the fuse against the fuse test contacts (6)
(Fig. 3).
2. To read the state of the fuse, observe the
position of the gauge (7) needle against the
scale band marked “Test continuity”.
− Green: The fuse may be used in an
appropriate appliance.
− Red: The fuse is in an open circuit state.
5.5 TestingBulbs
1. Place the two bulb terminals against two of the
three lightbulb test contacts (8), depending on
the type of bulb (Fig. 4).
2. To read the state of the bulb, observe the
position of the gauge (7) needle against the
scale band marked “Test continuity”.
− Green: The bulb may be used in an
appropriate appliance.
− Red: The bulb is damaged and cannot
be used.
5.6 ContinuityTesting
1. Insert the probe connectors into the
terminals on the device:
− The negative (black) probe (9)
connects to the left (negative)
terminal (10).
− The positive (red) probe (11)
connects to the right (positive)
terminal (12).
2. Disconnect all power to the
circuit to be tested and discharge
all capacitors.
WARNING! NEVER measure
resistance across a voltage
source or on a powered circuit.
3. Connect the probes across the circuit to be tested, observing the
correct polarity.
4. An audible alarm will sound if the circuit resistance is <5,000Ω.
Important: If the resistance is between 5,000–10,000Ω, the alarm may or may
not sound.
