UT219PV User Manual Warning: ● For continuity test at 999.9Ω, fast response cannot be achieved. For resistance ≤30Ω, continuous sound is generated and green backlight is lit up. For resistance ≥50Ω, no sound is made. ● Before measuring in-circuit resistance, please switch off all powers of the measured circuit and discharge all capacitors thoroughly.

UT219PV User Manual Warning: ● The input impedance is about 10 MΩ for DC mV. Measurement error can be produced when measuring circuit with high impedance. The circuit impedance is below 10 kΩ in most cases, thus the error (≤0.1%) is negligible.
Bluetooth on fails to connect with the APP, the Bluetooth symbol on the LCD will blink. Open the “UNI-T Smart Measure” APP, search UT219PV, make connection, and then perform data communication, button control and other operations. The Bluetooth symbol on the LCD is displayed continuously with the connection established.
