When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 4.2 to maintain measurement accuracy.

6.3 Fuse Replacement

If the current measurement function stops working, the fuse may need replacement. Refer to the specifications for the correct fuse type and rating. Fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel.

6.4 Storage

If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Jesverty HK33D Multimeter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Display or Faint Display: Check battery installation and replace batteries if necessary.
• Incorrect Readings: Ensure the function dial is set to the correct measurement type and range. Check test lead connections. Verify the circuit is de-energized for resistance/continuity tests.
• Current Measurement Not Working: Check if the fuse is blown. Replace if needed (refer to Section 6.3).
• Continuity Buzzer Not Sounding: Ensure the resistance between the probes is below 50Ω. Check test leads for damage.
• NCV/Live Wire Detection Not Working: Ensure the function is selected correctly. The presence of strong electromagnetic fields can interfere with these functions.

If the problem persists after attempting these steps, contact customer support.
