2. Determine whether the transistor under testing is NPN or PNP type and 
locate the emitter, base and collector leads. Insert the leads into proper 
holes of the hFE socket on the front panel. 
3. The meter will show the approximate hFE value at the condition of base 
current 10

μ

A and Vce 3V. 

NOTE: 
Before attempting to insert transistors for testing, always be sure that test 
leads have been disconnected from any measurement circuits. 
Components should not be connected to the hFE socket when making 
voltage measurements with test leads. 

 
DIODE TEST 

1. Connect the red test lead to “V

Ω

mA” jack and the black lead to “COM” 

jack. (The polarity of red lead is positive “+”). 
2. Set the rotary switch at

position. 

3. Connect the red lead to the anode of the diode to be tested and the 
black lead to the cathode of the diode. 
4. The approx. forward voltage drop of the diode will be display in mV. If 
the connection is reversed, only figure “1” will be shown. 

 

BATTERY & FUSE REPLACEMENT 

If the sign “BAT” appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the battery 
should be replaced. Loosen screws on the back cover and open the case. 
Replace the exhausted with a new one of the same type.   
Fuse really need replacement and blow almost always as a result of 
operator’s error. Open the case and replace the blown fuse with the 
ratings specified: F250mA/250V. 
 

WARNING 

Before attempting to open the case, always be sure that test leads have 
been disconnected from measurement circuits. Close case and tighten 
screws completely before using the meter to avoid electrical shock 
hazard.
