8. Decibel Measurement
The decibel feature of this multimeter is for
transistor gain measurement in electronic cir-
cuits and should not be confused with audio
decibels. This function is used primarily by elec-
tronics technicians to measure the power gain
in transistors, and is rarely encountered in home
project applications.
1) Fully seat the test leads in the correct input
jacks, (-) black lead, (+) red lead.
2) Set the function/range switch to any one of
the AC voltage ranges and read the decibel
measurement on the bottom (red) scale of
the faceplate. Based on the AC voltage range
you selected, you will need to compute the
actual measurement by using the decibel
conversion chart located at the bottom right
of the faceplate.
Important: For absolute decibel measurements,
circuit impedance must be at least 600 ohms. -0-
decibels = 1 milliwatt in a 600 ohm impedance
(equivalent to 0.775 volts across 600 ohms).
9. Battery and Fuse Replacement
1) Remove the screw in the back cover of the
meter and carefully separate the back cover
from the front.
2) Note the polarity of the batteries when
removing them from their compartment and
replace.
3) Use F500mAH, 250V replacement fuses, GB
model GF-0306

4) Carefully replace the back cover and tighten
the screw. Do not overtighten, as this may
strip the threads in the meter housing.
