•Capacitor Check ( )
CAUTION
To avoid damage to instrument
Turn off the power to the circuit under test before starting measurement in order to pre-
vent any excess voltage from being applied to the multimeter.
a) Turn the function switch from the OFF position to the position.
b) Plug the black testing lead into the COM input terminal and the red testing lead into the •
V • Ω• input terminal.
c) Open the testing lead and press the SELECT key to adjust the stray capacitance to zero (the
display shows 0.00).
d)
Connect the testing leads to the capacitor under test and then read the meter when it stabilizes.
When the capacitor check is below the capacity at zero calibration, “0.00” is displayed until
the power off.
NOTE
Do not mistake the following for a malfunction!
Zero calibration is only effective when the 10 nF range is selected.
•Frequency Measurement (Hz)
CAUTION
To avoid damage to instrument
Check which mode the function switch is set to before starting measurement.
a) Turn the function switch from the OFF position to the V position.
b) Press the SELECT key to select Hz measurement (the display shows the Hz symbol).
c) Plug the black testing lead into the COM input terminal and the red testing lead into the •
V • Ω• input terminal.
d) Connect the testing leads to the circuit under test and then read the meter when it stabilizes.
NOTE
Do not mistake the following for a malfunction!
If the Frequency measurement range is selected and the testing leads are left open-circuited,
the multimeter may give some kind of reading. This does not affect your measurement.
AUTO HOLD Function
The 733 series of multimeters can automatically retain the measured value when the testing
leads are handled as described below.
a) Press the D-H/A-H key to select the function. (The display shows the 
A • H
 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 
A • H
symbol.
g)
To cancel this function, press the D-H/A-H 
key 
once again. (The 
A • H
 symbol disappears.)
NOTE
Do not mistake the following for a malfunction!
•In DC/AC voltage measurement, theAUTO HOLD function is only available for ranges
greater than the 4 V range.
•
This function is not available for capacitor Check andTemperature-mode measurement.
•The AUTO HOLD function cannot be applied to unstable signals.
REL&% Calculation Function
The 733 series of multimeters can calculate relative values or differences, and percentage values
from the reference measurement values.
(1) REL calculation
Subtracts the reference value from the measured value to display the relative value or difference.
a) Enter the reference value.
b) Press the REL/% key to display the 
REL
 symbol.
c) Enter the measured value.
d) The display shows the relative value or difference.
(2) % calculation
Calculates and displays the percentage value according to the following equation:
% value = (reference value - measured value)/ reference value
a) Enter the reference value.
b) Press the REL/% button to display the 
REL
 symbol.
c) Enter the measured value.
d) Press the REL/% button again to display the % symbol.
e) The display shows the percentage value.
AUTO POWER OFF function
The multimeter automatically turns off if no key is pressed for a period of 20 minutes. The
multimeterwillbeepfor approximately 30secondstoalert the operatorbeforetheAUTOPOWER
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 automatically
turned off switches the multimeter on again.
To cancel the AUTO POWER OFF function, hold down the D-H/A-H key and then turn the
function switch from OFF to the desired position of any measurement mode. (The AUTO
POWER OFF indication turns off when the function is canceled.)
To enable the function once again, temporarily turn the function dial back to the OFF position,
and then select the desired measurement mode.

c)
When this function is complete, turn the function switch back to the OFF position and turn-off
the multi meter.
Battery Replacement
If the batteries fall below the normal operating voltage, the symbol turns on. If this
happens, replace the batteries with new ones (two AA-size [R6 or LR6] batteries).
CAUTION
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 their polarities correctly.
To replace the batteries:
a) Remove the four 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 four screws.
Fuse Replacement
If a current greater than the rated value flows when the multimeter is in the current-measure-
ment range, a protection fuse may blow. If this happens, replace that fuse. The multimeter
contains the following two types of fuses:
• F1 fuse: type A1518EF (600 V/500 mA)
• F2 fuse: type A1519EF (600 V/15A)
CAUTION
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.
To replace the fuse(s):
a) Remove the four screws on the back of the
casing.
b) Open the casing.
c) Removetheblownfuse from thefuseholder.
d) Install a new fuse in the holder.
e) Close the casing and fasten it with the four
screws.
