8.3 Preparation for measurement
Before testing, always check the following:-
1 The ‘low battery’ Indication is not displayed
2 There is no visually obvious damage to the tester or to the test leads
3 Test the continuity of the test leads by switching to continuity test and shorting out

the lead ends. A high reading will indicate that there is a faulty lead or that the fuse is
blown.

Make sure the circuit to be tested is not live. “Live Circuit” warning is displayed if
the instrument is connected to a live circuit but test the circuit as well!
