Tatūnga
Tāuta Pūhiko
The MD 9040 is powered by a 9V battery. To install or replace the battery, locate the battery compartment on the rear of the device. Open the compartment, insert the 9V battery ensuring correct polarity, and then securely close the cover. Always replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to maintain measurement accuracy.
Hononga Arahi Whakamatau
Connect the test leads to the appropriate input jacks on the multimeter's front panel. The device features a lead alert system to indicate incorrect connections, enhancing user safety. Refer to the following guidelines:
- Mo voltage, resistance, capacitance, diode, and continuity measurements, connect the red test lead to the VΩHz te tīki me te taura whakamātautau pango ki te COM koki.
- Mo current measurements (mA µA), connect the red test lead to the mA µA te tīki me te taura whakamātautau pango ki te COM koki.
- Mo high current measurements (up to 10A), connect the red test lead to the 10A te tīki me te taura whakamātautau pango ki te COM koki.

Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
Te Hiko / Whakaweto
To power on the MD 9040, rotate the central function switch from the WATE position to the desired measurement function. To power off the device, rotate the switch back to the WATE tūnga.
Nga Mahi Ine
The MD 9040 offers a comprehensive range of measurement capabilities:
- Voltage (AC/DC): Tīpakohia V~ mo AC voltage ranei V- mo DC voltage inenga.
- Current (AC/DC): Tīpakohia A~ for AC current or A- for DC current measurements. Ensure the test leads are connected to the appropriate current input jacks (mA µA or 10A).
- Ātete (Ω): Tīpakohia te Ω position for resistance measurements.
- Unga (F): Tīpakohia te F position for capacitance measurements.
- Whakamatau Whakatautau: Select the diode symbol for testing diodes.
- Whakamātautau Tonu: Select the continuity symbol for checking circuit continuity, indicated by an audible tone.
- Auau (Hz): Tīpakohia te Hz position for frequency measurements.
Auto-Ranging and Manual Ranging
The multimeter defaults to auto-ranging, which automatically selects the most suitable measurement range. To switch to manual ranging, press the PANUI button. In manual ranging, press PANUI repeatedly to cycle through available ranges. To return to auto-ranging, press and hold the PANUI pātene.
Aratau Kore Paanga
Pehia te REL button to activate relative zero mode. This function subtracts the current displayed reading from all subsequent measurements, which is useful for comparing values or nulling out background noise. Press REL kia puta ano i tenei aratau.
Pupuri Raraunga
Pehia te KAUPAPA button to freeze the current reading on the display. This allows for convenient recording of measurements. Press KAUPAPA again to release the display and resume live readings.
Te tiaki
Whakakapinga Pūhiko
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery promptly to ensure continued accurate operation. Refer to the 'Setup' section for detailed battery installation instructions.
Te horoi
To clean the multimeter casing, whakamahia he ngohengohe, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device. Ensure the multimeter is powered off and disconnected from any electrical circuits before cleaning.
Rokiroki
Store the MD 9040 in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. If the device will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage.
Raparongoā
