2.2 Charging the Battery

The device is powered by a rechargeable 2000mA Lithium Ion battery. Before first use, or when the low battery indicator appears, charge the device using the provided charging cable.

1. Connect the charging cable to the charging port on the device.
2. Connect the other end of the charging cable to a suitable USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
3. The charging indicator will illuminate, typically red during charging and green when fully charged.

2.3 Connecting Test Leads

For multimeter functions requiring direct contact, connect the test leads:

1. Insert the black test lead into the 'COM' (Common) input jack.
2. Insert the red test lead into the 'INPUT' jack.
3. Ensure connections are secure before taking any measurements.

3. Operating Instructions

The BSIDE O1 offers both oscilloscope and multimeter modes, accessible via the function buttons and rotary switch.

3.1 Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button to turn the device on or off.

3.2 Multimeter Mode

Rotate the central dial to select the desired measurement function. The 2.8-inch TFT color display will show the readings.

• Voltage (AC/DC): Select 'V~' for AC voltage or 'V=' for DC voltage. Connect test leads in parallel to the circuit.
• Current (AC/DC): Select 'A~' for AC current or 'A=' for DC current. For clamp measurements, open the clamp and enclose a single conductor. For direct current measurement, connect test leads in series with the circuit.
• Resistance (Ω): Select 'Ω'. Connect test leads across the component to measure resistance.
• Capacitance (F): Select 'F'. Connect test leads across the capacitor.
• Diode Test: Select the diode symbol. Connect test leads across the diode to check its forward voltage drop.
• Continuity Test: Select the continuity symbol. The device will beep if there is a continuous path (low resistance).
• V-Alert (Non-Contact Voltage Detection): Select 'NCV'. Hold the device near a live AC voltage source to detect its presence without physical contact.

3.3 Oscilloscope Mode

To enter oscilloscope mode, select the oscilloscope symbol on the rotary switch. The device will display waveforms, allowing for detailed analysis of electrical signals.

• Bandwidth: 10MHz.
• Real-time Sample Rate: 48MSa/s.
• Controls: Use the 'VOL', 'TIME', 'MOVE', 'TRIG', and 'DC' buttons to adjust the waveform display, trigger settings, and vertical/horizontal scales.

3.4 Data Storage and Export

The BSIDE O1 allows you to store measurement data and export it for further analysis.

• Save: Press the 'SAVE' button to store current measurement data.
• Export: Connect the device to a computer using the charging cable. The stored data can then be accessed and exported. Refer to the on-screen menu for specific export options.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your BSIDE O1 device.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the device in its provided carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if the device is not frequently used, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BSIDE O1, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device does not power on: Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the charging cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
• Inaccurate readings: Check that the test leads are correctly connected and not damaged. Ensure the correct measurement mode is selected for the task. For clamp measurements, verify that only a single conductor is enclosed within the clamp.
• Display issues: If the screen is frozen or unresponsive, try restarting the device. If the issue persists, ensure the battery is fully charged.
• Data export failure: Verify the charging cable is securely connected to both the device and the computer. Ensure the computer recognizes the device.

For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact customer support.
