• Oqgħod attent meta taħdem bil-voltag'il fuq minn 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, jew 60V DC. Volum bħal dantages joħolqu periklu ta' xokk.
• Remove the test leads from the circuit before changing functions.
• Kun żgur li l-għatu tal-batterija jkun magħluq u mwaħħal sew qabel l-operazzjoni.
• Do not operate the meter with the battery compartment open.
• Ibdel il-batteriji hekk kif jidher l-indikatur tal-batterija baxxa.
• Tużax il-meter f'ambjenti splussivi ta' gass, fwar jew trab.
• Uża t-terminals, il-funzjoni u l-firxa xierqa għall-kejl tiegħek.

4. Setup

4.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija

The GD166B requires 3 x 1.5V AAA batteries (not included) for operation.

1. Sib il-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-miter.
2. Uża tornavit biex tiftaħ l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija.
3. Insert three AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Ibdel l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija u waħħalha bil-kamin.

4.2 Konnessjoni tal-wajers tat-test

For measurements requiring test leads (e.g., voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, temperature), connect them as follows:

• Daħħal il-wajer tat-test iswed fil-jack tad-dħul "COM" (komuni).
• Insert the red test lead into the "INPUT" (positive) input jack.

Figure 4.2.1: Test Lead Connection. This image illustrates the correct way to connect the test leads to the meter's input jacks for various measurements.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

5.1 Power On/Off

Agħfas il- Buttuna tal-qawwa (⑂) to turn the meter on or off.

5.2 Għażla tal-Funzjoni

The GD166B features a "Smart Measurement (Auto)" mode, which automatically identifies the measurement type (voltage, resistance, continuity) when test leads are connected. For other specific functions, use the FUNC button to cycle through modes or the rotary dial if present (though this model appears button-driven).

5.3 Common Measurements

5.3.1 AC/DC Voltage Kejl

1. Connect the red test lead to the "INPUT" jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Agħżel il-vol xieraqtage range (or use Smart Auto mode).
3. Qabbad il-wajers tat-test b'mod parallel maċ-ċirkwit jew il-komponent li għandu jitkejjel.
4. Aqra l-voltagIl-valur fuq il-wiri.

5.3.2 Kejl tal-Kurrent AC/DC (Clamp)

For current measurements, use the clamp jaw. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before clamping.
