5.2. AC/DC Current Measurement (mA~) / (mA=)
- Turn the rotary switch to the "mA~" (AC Current) or "mA=" (DC Current) position.
- Connect the red test lead to the "mA" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
- Kontuz: To measure current, the multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the multimeter.
- Break the circuit and insert the multimeter in series.
- Berriro piztu zirkuitua eta irakurri uneko balioa pantailan.
5.3. Erresistentziaren neurketa (Ω)
- Biratu biraketa-etengailua "Ω" (Erresistentzia) posiziora.
- Connect the red test lead to the "V" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
- Ziurtatu neurtu beharreko zirkuitua edo osagaia desenergizatuta dagoela.
- Touch the test probes across the component.
- Irakurri erresistentziaren balioa pantailan.

5.4. Logic Level Test
This function allows for quick testing of digital logic levels.
- Turn the rotary switch to the "LOGIC" position.
- Connect the black test lead to the "COM" input jack. The red test lead is integrated into the pen tip.
- Touch the pen tip to the point on the circuit where the logic level is to be tested.
- The display will indicate:
- Maila altua: voltage is >3.5V
- Maila baxua: voltage <3.5V da
5.5. Diode Check (→|)
- Turn the rotary switch to the "→|" (Diode) position.
- Connect the red test lead to the "V" input jack and the black test lead to the "COM" input jack.
- Konektatu zunda gorria diodoaren anodoari eta zunda beltza katodoari.
- Irakurri aurrerako liburukiatage drop on the display. Reverse the probes to check for open circuit (OL) indication.
5.6. Continuity Test (•)))
