Electrical gremlins after 7 mths laid up

[Kcwiro]

here is the one I have but all the symbols on it mean absolutely nothing to me

No problem.....


->|- *it is two down from the 10A & has red box around it* on the bottom area of the dial.... not sure if you have a tone or not but if you use that mode and it displays '1' if your circuit is open

Thanks mate, thats brilliant Just the sort of newbie instructions I need until I get hold of this book.

I'll go and check the fuses. Is there anything else I should check for continuity while I'm at it?

Any suggestions on the cleaners?

Besides for the awesome links just posted for you, I think that covers everything. You can always look for any volmeter manual, a lot outline what each symbol does. Any electrical contact cleaner spray will do, keep an eye out for the stuff that leaves no residue.

I knew it was a digital one and how to check a battery but thats about it. I haven't leaned what symbols to select for different tasks or where to put the probes yet.

Thanks for the links Posplayr - I've been reading a lot of them at the moment but some more definately won't hurt!
