4. Setup
4.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the multimeter using the provided Type-C USB cable. Connect the cable to the multimeter's charging port and a standard USB power adapter (not included).

4.2 Connecting Test Leads
Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩmA' input jack and the black test lead into the 'COM' input jack for most measurements. For high current measurements (10A), insert the red lead into the '10A' jack.
5. Operating Instructions
The ANENG 621A features a smart mode that automatically detects the measurement type. You can also manually select functions using the touch screen.
5.1 Smart Mode (AUTO)
Upon powering on, the multimeter defaults to Smart Mode (AUTO). In this mode, it automatically identifies and measures AC/DC voltage, resistance, and continuity without manual selection. Simply connect the test leads to the circuit or component to be measured.

5.2 Manual Function Selection
To select specific functions not automatically detected by Smart Mode, use the touch screen buttons:
- Voltage (AC/DC): Touch the 'V' icon. The multimeter will automatically detect AC or DC.
- Resistance (Ω): Touch the 'Ω' icon.
- Capacitance (F): Touch the 'F' icon.
- Diode/Continuity: Touch the diode/continuity icon. Press again to toggle between diode test and continuity buzzer.
- Frequency (Hz)/Duty Cycle (%): Touch the 'Hz' icon.
- Temperature (°C/°F): Connect the temperature probe to the input jacks and select the temperature function.
- AC/DC Current (A/mA): Ensure test leads are correctly inserted into the '10A' or 'VΩmA' jack as appropriate. Select the current function.
5.3 Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection
Activate the NCV function by touching the 'NCV' button. Bring the top of the multimeter near a live wire or electrical outlet. The device will indicate the presence of AC voltage through an audible alarm and a visual bar graph on the display.

5.4 Live/Zero Line Detection
Touch the 'Live' button. Use the red test probe to touch the conductor. The display will indicate 'LIVE' for live wire and 'ZERO' for neutral wire, accompanied by an audible alert.
5.5 Flashlight
Press the flashlight button to activate the built-in LED flashlight for illumination in dark work areas.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe the multimeter casing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.
6.2 Battery Care
The ANENG 621A uses a rechargeable lithium battery. Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears. For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% and store the device in a cool, dry place. Recharge every few months to maintain battery health.
6.3 Storage
Store the multimeter and its accessories in the provided storage bag to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Multimeter does not power on. | Low battery or completely discharged. | Charge the multimeter using the Type-C USB cable. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Incorrect function selected, poor test lead connection, or damaged test leads. | Ensure correct function is selected (or use Smart Mode). Check test lead connections and replace if damaged. |
| No continuity beep. | Continuity function not selected or circuit resistance is too high. | Select continuity mode. Ensure the circuit is closed and resistance is within the audible range. |
| Display is dim or unreadable. | Low battery or backlight setting. | Charge the battery. Adjust backlight brightness if available, or ensure sufficient ambient light. |
| Multimeter enters auto-sleep mode too quickly. | Normal operation to conserve battery. | Touch the screen or press any button to wake the device. |
