1. Kun żgur li l-multimetru huwa MITFI.
2. Sib il-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-miter (ara l-Figura 4.3).
3. Uża tornavit biex tħoll il-kamin li jżomm l-għatu tal-batterija.
4. Neħħi l-għatu tal-batterija.
5. Insert three new 1.5V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
6. Ibdel l-għatu tal-batterija u issikka l-kamin sew.

5.2 Konnessjoni tal-wajers tat-test

Always connect the black test lead to the "COM" (Common) input jack. Connect the red test lead to the "VΩ" input jack for voltage, resistance, continuity, and diode measurements. Ensure connections are firm.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

This section details how to perform various measurements using the 61-327 Multimeter.

6.1 Kejl AC/DC Voltage

1. Turn the rotary switch to the desired AC Voltage (V~) or DC Voltage (V=) range. Select a range higher than the expected voltage.
2. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "VΩ" jack.
3. Qabbad il-probi tat-test b'mod parallel maċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent li tixtieq tkejjel.
4. Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.

6.2 Kejl tar-Reżistenza (Ω)

1. TWISSIJA: Kun żgur li ċ-ċirkwit ma jkollux l-enerġija u li l-kapaċitaturi kollha jkunu skarikati qabel ma tkejjel ir-reżistenza.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range.
3. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "VΩ" jack.
