6. عملیاتي لارښوونې
6.1. والtage Testing (12-250 V AC/DC)
This function allows you to detect the presence of AC or DC voltage in energized circuits, outlets, switches, and other electrical components.
- لومړی خوندیتوب: Ensure you are wearing appropriate PPE (safety glasses, insulated gloves).
- Verify Tester: Before testing, touch the screwdriver tip to a known live circuit (e.g., a working outlet) to confirm the tester is operational. The LED should glow red.
- د ازموینې سرکټ: Insert the screwdriver tip into the hot slot of an outlet, or touch it to the live wire/terminal of the circuit you wish to test.
- د څارنې شاخص: که voltage is present within the 12-250 V AC/DC range, the 360-degree LED indicator on the tester will glow red. No glow indicates no voltage یا voltage outside the detectable range.

6.2. د دوام ازموینه
This function allows you to check if a circuit or component has a continuous electrical path, useful for testing fuses, switches, and wires.
- لومړی خوندیتوب: Ensure the circuit or component you are testing is بې انرژی before performing continuity tests.
- د اړیکو ټکي: Place the screwdriver tip on one end of the component or wire you wish to test.
- Touch Contact: Simultaneously, place your finger on the "TOUCH" button/contact point located on the tester's body.
- Complete Circuit: With your other hand, touch the other end of the component or wire being tested. Your body completes the circuit for the continuity test.
- د څارنې شاخص: If continuity exists (i.e., the circuit is complete), the 360-degree LED indicator will glow red. No glow indicates an open circuit or no continuity.

8. ستونزه حل کول
| ستونزه | احتمالي لامل | د حل لاره |
|---|---|---|
| LED does not light up during voltage test on a known live circuit. | Tester malfunction or internal battery depletion. | Ensure proper contact. If still no light, the unit may need to be replaced. |
| LED does not light up during continuity test. | Open circuit, faulty component, or improper contact. | Ensure firm contact with both ends of the component/wire and the "TOUCH" point. Verify the component is not faulty. If the component is known good, the tester may need replacement. |
| Intermittent LED indication. | Poor contact or fluctuating voltage. | Ensure solid contact with the test points. Re-test the circuit. |
