5.2 Connecting Test Leads
Always connect the black test lead to the COM (Common) input jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack based on the measurement you intend to perform:
- For Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode, Continuity, and Temperature measurements: Connect the red test lead to the V/Ω input jack.
- For Current measurements (up to 10A): Connect the red test lead to the 10A input jack.
Ensure the test leads are fully inserted into the jacks before taking any measurements.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Power On/Off
- To power on the multimeter, press the Power Button (
). - To power off, press and hold the Power Button until the display turns off. The meter also features an auto power-off function after 10 minutes of inactivity.
6.2 Automatic and Manual Function Selection
The HUIOP NJTY T5 multimeter intelligently identifies and measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, frequency, and continuity in its default auto mode. For other functions like Diode, Capacitance, and Temperature, manual selection is required.
- In auto mode, the meter will automatically detect the type of measurement (Voltage, Current, Resistance, Frequency, Continuity) and display the reading.
- To manually select Diode, Capacitance, or Temperature, press the Diode/Capacitance/Temperature Switch Button (
) to cycle through these functions.

6.3 Measuring Voltage (AC/DC)
- Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the V/Ω jack.
- Power on the meter. It will automatically enter voltage measurement mode.
- Touch the test probes to the circuit points where you want to measure voltage. The display will show the voltage value and automatically detect if it's AC or DC.
6.4 Measuring Current (AC/DC)
- IMPORTANT: Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the meter in series.
- Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the 10A jack.
- Power on the meter. It will automatically enter current measurement mode.
- Open the circuit where you want to measure current and connect the meter in series.
- Re-energize the circuit. The display will show the current value and automatically detect if it's AC or DC.
- After measurement, de-energize the circuit before disconnecting the meter.
6.5 Measuring Resistance
