Basic Operating Test

Basic Operating Test is used to test the basic operability of the multimeter. Repair 

is required if the multimeter fails the Basic Operating Test.

Backlight Test

To test the backlight function, press 

 momentarily to turn backlight ON at 

medium level of brightness intensity. Press again to toggle the highest level of 

brightness intensity. The backlight turns OFF automatically after setting period. 

Alternatively, you can press 

 for the third time to turn the backlight OFF. 

Testing the Display

To view all segments of the display, press and hold the 

 button while 

turning the rotary switch from OFF to any non-OFF position. Compare the display 

with the 

Figure 5-1
