Gain Measurement
General
The first step in reading the analog scale is to
align the needle with the scale. This is
achieved by locating the mirror on the scale.
Line the needle up with its reflection. When
the reflection is hidden by the needle, the
needle is properly aligned.
Resistance (Ohms - Ω)
Use the top scale for reading the resistance.
If the meter is set to X1k, multiply the
resistance value by 1000Ω.
DC Voltage (V DC)
Use the middle scale directly below the mirror.
Match the dial setting to the highest number on
the scale. If the setting does not match one of
the numbers, use a scale that can be easily
multiplied to give the setting (i.e. - for 1000V, use
the 10V scale and multiply the reading by 100).

3.2 Internal Battery Condition

Voltage Scales
Before making resistance or continuity tests,
check the condition of the internal battery. First
turn the function/range switch to a resistance
position. Short the test leads together and the
needle indicator should deflect to the right side
of the scale. Keep the test leads shorted
together while simultaneously turning the zero
ohms adjustment dial until the needle indicator
reads zero at the right side of the ohms
(green) scale. If the needle will not zero,
replace the battery with two new 1.5 volt AAA
size non-rechargeable batteries (see Battery
Replacement ).

4. DC Voltage Measurement

1) Fully seat the test leads in the correct input
jacks, (-) black lead, (+) red lead.
2) Set the function/range switch to the
appropriate DC voltage range. If the voltage
is unknown, use the highest range. If the
