FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: How do I change the battery in the multimeter?

A: To change the battery, follow these steps:

Turn off the multimeter and disconnect any test leads.
Lay the multimeter face down and locate the battery compartment.
Remove the battery cover and replace the old battery with a new one of the same type.
Close the battery compartment securely and turn on the multimeter to check if it’s working properly.

Q: Can I use the multimeter to measure AC voltage above 600V?

A: No, it is not recommended to measure AC voltage above the specified safety rating of the multimeter to avoid damage or safety hazards.

Q: What is the significance of the Magne-GripTM holster on the 5XP-A

model?

A: The Magne-GripTM holster allows hands-free operation by M securely holding the multimeter in place while you work on tasks that require both hands.
