3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation
The multimeter requires 3 AAA batteries for operation. To install them:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device.
- Open the compartment cover.
- Insert the 3 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
3.2 Test Lead Connection
Proper connection of test leads is crucial for accurate and safe measurements:
- Always remove the protective caps from the test leads before use.
- 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:
- For Voltage, Resistance, Continuity, Diode, Capacitance, Frequency, and Temperature measurements, connect the red lead to the VΩHz/C/F jack.
- For Current measurements (mA), connect the red lead to the mA jack.
- For High Current measurements (10A), connect the red lead to the 10A jack.
- Ensure both test leads are fully and securely inserted into their respective jacks.

4.1 General Operation
To begin a measurement:
- Turn the central rotary switch to the desired measurement function (e.g., Voltage, Resistance, Current).
- The multimeter features automatic range judgment, which simplifies operation by automatically selecting the appropriate measurement range.
- Use the SELECT button to cycle through different measurement modes within a function (e.g., AC or DC voltage, different current ranges).
- The REL button activates the relative value measurement function, allowing you to measure changes relative to a stored reference value.
- The Hz/BL button can be used to toggle frequency measurement (if applicable to the selected function) and to activate the display backlight.
- The HOLD/LIGHT button serves two purposes: a short press will hold the current reading on the display, and a long press will activate the integrated flashlight.

4.2 Specific Measurements
The FY19XF multimeter supports a wide range of electrical measurements:
- DC/AC Voltage Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the 'V' position. Use the SELECT button to choose between AC and DC. Connect the test leads in parallel across the component or circuit to measure voltage.
- DC/AC Current Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the 'A' or 'mA' position. Use the SELECT button to choose between AC and DC. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit to measure current. Ensure the correct input jack (mA or 10A) is used for the expected current range.
- Resistance Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the 'Ω' position. Connect the test leads across the component to measure its resistance.
- Continuity Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the continuity symbol (often shared with resistance or diode). Connect the test leads across the circuit or component. An audible beep indicates continuity (low resistance).
- Diode Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the diode symbol. Connect the test leads across the diode. The display will show the forward voltage drop.
- Capacitance Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the capacitance symbol. Connect the test leads across the capacitor.
- Frequency Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the 'Hz' position (or use the Hz/BL button in relevant modes). Connect the test leads to the signal source.
- Temperature Measurement: Turn the rotary switch to the '°C/°F' position. Connect the K-type thermocouple to the appropriate input jacks and place the probe on the object to be measured.
- Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection: Turn the rotary switch to the 'NCV' position. Bring the top of the multimeter near a live electrical source. The device will beep and indicate voltage presence without direct contact.

5. Safety Information
Your Mastfuyi Digital Multimeter FY19XF is designed with safety in mind. Please observe the following precautions:
- Smart Burnout Prevention and Overload Protection: The multimeter incorporates a smart burnout prevention chip with a ceramic fuse, offering full-range overload protection. It provides 250V burnout prevention if an incorrect measurement function is selected.
- High Voltage Alert: A high voltage alert with a red backlit display will activate if the measured voltage exceeds 36V, indicating a potential hazard. Exercise extreme caution when this alert is active.
- Misplaced Test Leads Alarm: An audible alarm will sound if test leads are inserted into the current measurement jack without the rotary switch being set to the correct current function, preventing accidental damage to the device and potential hazards.
- Always remove the protective caps from the test leads before making any measurements.
- Do not attempt to measure AC currents or voltages below 100mV if the device cannot display results. Consult the manual for specific measurement limitations.
- Ensure the rotary switch is set to the correct function before connecting the test leads to a circuit.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your multimeter, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Automatic Power Off: The multimeter features an automatic power-off function after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
- Cleaning: Keep the device clean and dry. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate readings and proper device function.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your multimeter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Display or Incorrect Reading:
- Check if test lead plugs are fully inserted and correctly seated in the appropriate input jacks.
- Ensure the manual rotary switch is positioned correctly for the desired measurement function.
- Verify that the batteries have sufficient charge.
- No AC Current or AC Voltage Reading Below 100mV: This multimeter may not be able to measure all AC currents or AC voltages below 100mV. This is a characteristic of the device.
- Device Not Turning On: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
