Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between
Capacitance and Diode test
functions. The new setting will be saved automatically to the non-volatile memory as power up default.
CAUTION
Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be discharged
through an appropriate resistance load.

Note: Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to
0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero reading indicates a
shorted diode (defective). An OL indicates an open diode (defective). Reverse the test leads
connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The digital display shows OL if the diode is good. Any
