MU118 OPERATION MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
This instrument is compact, rugged, battery operated, handheld 3
1 /2 digit digital multimeter for measuring DC and AC voltage, DC
and AC current, resistance and diode, capacitance, transistor,
continuity test, temperature and frequency.

5. OPERATION
1. Check the 9-volt battery by setting the ON-OFF switch to ON. If the
battery is weak, a sign will appear on the display. It is does not
appear on the display, proceed as below. See maintenance if the
battery has to be replaced.
2. The mark or sign next to the test lead jacks is for warning that
the input voltage or current should not exceed the indicated
values. This is to prevent damage to the internal circuit.
3. The function switch should be set to the range which you want to
test before operation.
4. If the voltage or current range is not known beforehand set the
function switch to a high range and work down.
5. When only the figure “1” is displayed, over-range is being indicated
and the function switch must be set to a higher range.
5.1) DC Voltage Measurement
1, Connect the BLACK test lead to the COM jack and the RED test
lead to the V/ Ω jack.
2. Set the FUNCTION switch to the “V range to be used and
connect the test leads across the source or load under
measurement. The polarity of the RED lead connection will be
indicated at the same time as the voltage.

NOTE:
Do not apply more than 1000V to the input, Indication is
possible at higher voltages but there is danger of damaging the
