MULTITESTEROPERATION SUGGESTIONS
1 Unknown quantity.
When unknown voltage or current is measured, always start
with the highest range. After the first reading, the range
switch can be reset to a lower range for a more accurate
reading.
2 Selection of a range.
For accurate reading, use the range next higher to the
approximate value known. For instance, the voltage of a
dry cell should be checked on the DC 2.5V range; on the 10V
or 50V range, no better result is obtained. For resistance,
reading is most accurate around in the middle of the scale.
3 Protective front cover,
The metacrylic-resin front cover is treated with anti-electrifi-
cation coating. Do not wipe it hard, or the coating will come
off to cause erroneous reading. Volatile solvent should not
be used to clean it; use a soft brush to remove dust.
Metacrylic resin is softer than glass quite liable to get
bruised.
4 Maintenance cares.
Avoid placing the instrument where severe shock or vibra-
tion is encountered, or where there is high temperature or
moisture. Do not leave it in the direct sun or oily atmosphere.

5 Measurement of small-size transistors.
While testing a small-size RF germanium transistor, IcEo
gradually increases heated by the current applied. It may
cause the pointer to creep, and must be checked quickly.
6 Resistor burned.
Not seldom some internal resistor is burnt on account of AC
line voltage erroneously applied to the 250mA DC or the X1
ohm range. A resistor burnt can be replaced referring to
Fig. 9 and the table. The protection device is to safe-
guard the indicator from accidental damage, while some
resistor may burn on account of the overload, but its
replacement readily restores the instrument to normal
performance.
