To charge the battery, connect the provided USB cable to the meter's USB port and the power adapter, then plug the adapter into a power outlet. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.

4.2 Connecting Test Leads

The UT620C+ utilizes a four-wire (Kelvin) measurement method for high accuracy, which minimizes the effect of lead resistance. Connect the test leads to the C1, P1, P2, and C2 terminals on the top of the meter. Ensure the connections are firm.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Press the Power button (Power button icon) to turn the meter on. Press and hold the Power button to turn it off. The meter features an automatic shutdown function to conserve battery life.

5.2 Resistance Measurement (Four-Wire Method)

The four-wire method ensures accurate measurements by separating the current-carrying leads from the voltage-sensing leads, thus eliminating the resistance of the test leads from the measurement.

  1. Connect the four test leads to the C1, P1, P2, and C2 terminals on the meter.
  2. Connect the other ends of the test leads to the device under test. Ensure good contact.
  3. Press the READ button to initiate a measurement. The meter will display the resistance value.
  4. For continuous measurement, use the AUTO mode.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Wipe the meter's casing with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the meter is dry before storage or next use.

6.2 Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before long-term storage and recharge it periodically to maintain battery health.

6.3 Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears. If the meter will not be used for a long time, remove the battery to prevent leakage.

7. Troubleshooting
