To improve the measurement accuracy of small value
capacitors (less than 10nF), press

with the
test leads open to subtract the residual capacitance
of the Meter and leads.
3. It is recommended to use test clip to carry out
measurement to reduce the effect of internal distributed
capacitor.

is shorted or it exceeds the maximum range.
Capacitors larger than 400

F take longer time. The
analogue bar graph shows the time left before
finishing the measurement.
When capacitance measurement has been
completed, disconnect the connection between the
testing leads and the circuit under test and remove
the test leads away from the input terminals of the
Meter.
