6.1 Measurement Functions:

AC/DC Voltage Measurement: The multimeter automatically detects AC or DC voltage. Connect the test leads across the circuit or component to measure voltage. The display will show the measured value.
Resistance Measurement: To measure resistance, ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the test leads across the resistor or component. The multimeter will display the resistance value in Ohms (Ω).
Continuity Test: For continuity, the multimeter will emit an audible beep if the resistance is below a certain threshold, indicating a continuous path.
Diode Test: Use this function to test diodes. The multimeter will display the forward voltage drop of the diode.
Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection: Hold the tip of the multimeter near an AC voltage source without direct contact. The device will indicate the presence of voltage through an audible alarm and visual indicator.
