4. Setup
4.1. Charging the Battery
The BSIDE O1 is equipped with a built-in 2000 mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery. Before initial use, ensure the device is fully charged.
- Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the charging port on the device.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
- The charging indicator will illuminate, typically red, during charging and change color or turn off when fully charged.

4.2. Connecting Test Leads
The device uses high-quality, all-in-one test leads for both multimeter and oscilloscope functions.
- Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' (Common) input jack.
- Insert the red test lead into the 'INPUT' jack for voltage, resistance, capacitance, diode, and oscilloscope measurements.
- For current measurements (up to 10A), insert the red test lead into the '10A FUSED' jack.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Power On/Off
Press and hold the power button (red circle with line) to turn the device on or off.
5.2. Multimeter Mode
The device defaults to multimeter mode upon power-up. Use the 'MODE' button to cycle through different measurement functions such as AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Diode, and Continuity.
- Voltage/Current Measurement: Connect test leads as described in Section 4.2. Select AC or DC mode as needed. The display shows real-time, max, min, and average values.
- Resistance/Capacitance/Diode/Continuity: Select the appropriate function using the 'MODE' button.
- Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection: Use this feature to detect AC voltage without direct contact.

5.3. Oscilloscope Mode
Press the 'AUTO' button to switch to oscilloscope mode. This mode allows for graphical visualization and analysis of waveforms.
- Auto-Adjust Function: In oscilloscope mode, pressing 'AUTO' automatically recognizes the waveform type and adjusts the amplitude and time base for optimal display.
- Triggering: The trigger mode can be adjusted (Auto, Manual, Normal) to stabilize repetitive waveforms.
- Waveform Parameters: The display provides key waveform parameters such as frequency, peak-to-peak voltage (VPP), maximum/minimum voltage, RMS, and period.

5.4. Data Storage and PC Connection
The BSIDE O1 can capture screenshots of measurements and waveforms. These images are automatically saved and can be transferred to a PC for further analysis.
- Press the 'SAVE' button to capture a screenshot.
- Connect the device to a PC using the USB charging cable.
- The device will appear as a removable storage device, allowing you to access and transfer the saved images.
