Fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect all test leads and power before opening the meter casing.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

If the multimeter does not function correctly, check the following common issues:

• L-ebda wiri jew wiri mċajpar: Iċċekkja l-livell tal-batterija u ibdel jekk meħtieġ. Kun żgur li l-batteriji huma installati bil-polarità korretta.
• Qari mhux korrett: Verify that the correct function and range are selected. Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Check for blown fuses if measuring current.
• "OL" muri: This indicates an overload or out-of-range measurement. Select a higher range or ensure the measured value is within the meter's capabilities.
• L-ebda ħoss ta' kontinwità: Ensure the continuity function is selected and the circuit resistance is below the threshold.

Jekk il-problemi jippersistu, ikkuntattja l-appoġġ għall-klijenti jew tekniku kwalifikat.
