I have an HTC DM98 multimeter (same as the Kaiweets HT118A / Habotest HT118A).

While following this YouTube video to change the default temperature unit, I think I accidentally changed another hidden setting and swapped the continuity/diode mode with the capacitance mode.

Now:

  • The resistance dial position shows resistance + capacitance
  • The capacitance dial position shows continuity +diode

I also tried entering the calibration mode again by turning the rotary dial to continuity mode while holding both the FUNC and flashlight buttons, but it did not reset the problem.

I found that someone on the EEVblog Forum has worked on hacks for the Temperature unit of HT118A multimeters, so I’m wondering if anyone knows whether this mode mapping can be restored, or if there is a way to reset the meter to factory settings.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
