■ To avoid electric shock!
• Check the testing leads before use and do not use deteriorated or damaged
ones. Check the continuity of the testing leads.
• Do not use the instrument if there is any damage to the casing or when the
casing is removed.
• Disconnect the instrument from the circuit under test before opening the casing
to replace the batteries or for any other reason.
• Avoid using the instrument if it has been exposed to rain or moisture or if your
hands are wet.
■ To avoid electrical shock or fire!
Do not use the instrument in an atmosphere where any flammable or explosive
gas is present.
a) If the model is 73201 or 04, place the function switch
in the position.
If the model is 73202 or 03, place the function switch
in the Ω / position, and then press the SELECT key.
(The symbol appears on the display.)
b) Plug the black testing lead into the COM input terminal
and the red testing lead into the V•Ω• input terminal.
c) Connect the testing leads to the circuit under check.
If the circuit is continuous (no more than approximately
50 Ω), the buzzer sounds.
d) When the test is complete, place the function switch in
the OFF position and turn off the multimeter.

• Do not use the multimeter near noise-emitting equipment or where there may
be a sudden temperature change. Otherwise, the instrument may produce an
unstable reading or errors.
• Do not wipe the instrument using any solvent (chemicals) such as benzine or
paint thinner. Otherwise, the front panel may be damaged or discolored.
When cleaning the instrument, use a dry cloth.
• Do not leave the multimeter exposed to direct sunlight or in a hot and humid
location such as the inside of a car, for any prolonged length of time.
To avoid damage to Instrument or equipment.
• Before starting measurement, check to which mode the function switch is set
and make sure the testing leads are plugged into the terminals for the desired
mode of measurement.
• Temporarily remove the testing leads from the device under test before
operating the function switch.
To avoid damage to instrument!
Turn off the power to the circuit under test before starting measurement in order
to prevent any excessive voltage from being applied to the multimeter.

To avoid damage to Instrument or equipment.
Before starting measurement, be sure to discharge the capacitor under check.
CAUTION
CAUTION
To avoid damage to instrument!
• Check to which mode the function dial is set before starting measurement.
• A current of 11 to 20 A can also be measured if the time interval is kept within
30 seconds. The buzzer will sound if the interval exceeds 30 seconds. If this
happens, immediately stop measurement. To continue measurement, wait for
2 minutes or more when restart.
The 732 series of multimeters can automatically retain the measured
value when the testing leads are handled as described below.
a) Press the AUTO.H key. (The display shows the symbol.)
b) Connect the testing leads to the object under test.
c) When the reading stabilizes, the buzzer sounds.
d) Remove the testing leads from the object under test.
e) The multimeter now shows the measured value that it retains.
f) You can repeat steps b) to e) as many times as you like as long as the
display shows the symbol.
d) When the test is complete, set the function switch
back to the OFF position and turn off the multimeter.
(1) Forward-bias Diode Test
Connect the black testing lead to the cathode and
the red testing lead to the anode (see Figure 1).
Silicon diodes should give a reading of approxi-
mately 0.5 V and light-emitting diodes a reading
between 1.5 V and 2.0 V. Note that readings
close to 0 V represent a short-circuit and the "---"
symbol indicates an opencircuit.
(2) Reverse-bias Diode Test
Connect the black testing lead to the anode and
the red testing lead to the cathode (see Figure 2).
Normally, the display shows the "---" symbol,
indicating that the diode under test is normal.
The diode is defective if the display gives a
certain voltage level.
a) Set the function switch from the OFF position to either the μA, mA or A
position. (If the magnitude of the current being measured is not known,
select the A position.)
b) When measuring AC current, press the SELECT key to select the AC
mode. (The display shows the “ ” symbol to indicate AC-mode
measurement.)
c) Plug the black testing lead into the COM input terminal and the red testing
lead into the A input terminal. If the current is in the order of milli-amperes
or less, plug the red testing lead into the μA•mA• input terminal.
d) Connect the testing leads to the circuit under test and then read the
multimeter when it stabilizes.
e) When measurement is complete, set the function switch back to the
OFF position and turn off the multimeter.

1. General Specifications
• AC Current Measurement ( A)
* This function is not supported on the 73204 multimeter.
• Resistance Measurement (Ω)
NOTE
Do not mistake the following for a malfunction!
• In DC voltage measurement, the AUTO HOLD function is only available for
ranges greater than the 4 V range.
• This function is not available for current-mode measurement.
• In a capacitor check, the AUTO HOLD function requires a few seconds before
it takes effect.
• The AUTO HOLD function cannot be applied to unstable signals.
The multimeter automatically turns off if no key is pressed for a period of
20 minutes. The multimeter will beep for approximately one minute to alert
the operator before the automatic power-off function takes effect.
(Pressing any key while the multimeter is beeping postpones the power-off
time. Pressing any key once after the power to the multimeter is automati-
cally turned off switches the multimeter on again.)
To cancel the automatic power-off function, hold down the SELECT key
and then set the function switch from the OFF to the position of any
desired measurement mode. (The AUTO POWER OFF indication turns off
when the function is canceled.)
To enable the function once again, temporarily switch the function switch
back to the OFF position, and then select the desired measurement mode.
If the batteries fall below the normal operating voltage, the symbol
turns on. If this happens, replace the batteries with new ones (AAA-size
[ANSI] batteries: 2pcs.).
To replace the batteries:
Fuse Replacement
If a current greater than the rated value flows when the multimeter is in the
current-measurement range, a protection fuse may blow. If this happens,
replace that fuse. The multimeter contains the following two types of fuses:
• Type F05 250 V/500 mA fuse
• Type F02 250 V/15 A fuse
To replace the fuse(s):
b)
c)
a)
To avoid electric shock!
• Be sure to disconnect the multimeter from the circuit under test before replacing
the batteries.
• Replace both batteries at the same time making sure to position them with the
correct polarities.
To avoid electric shock!
• Be sure to disconnect the multimeter from the circuit under test before replacing
the fuse(s).
• Do not operate the multimeter with the casing left open.
• In order to avoid damage to the multimeter or any possible accident, use fuses
of the specified rating.
a) Remove the three screws on the back of the casing.
b) Open the casing.
c) Take the battery holder out of the casing.
d) Replace the batteries with new ones and install the
battery holder back into the casing.
e) Close the casing and fasten it with the three screws.
