AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. This automatically

selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode

for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually

selected, perform the following:

1.

Press the RANGE button. The “Auto” display indicator will turn off.

2.

Press the RANGE key to step through the available ranges. Observe the decimal

point and units displayed until the preferred range is located.

3.

To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Autoranging, press and hold the

RANGE key for 2 seconds.

Note: Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance and Frequency functions.

RELATIVE MODE

The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored

zero reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements

made in comparison to that value. The displayed value is the difference between the

reference value and the measured value.

1.

Perform the measurement as described in the operating instructions.

2.

Press the REL button to store (zero) the reading in the display. The "REL" indicator

will appear on the display.

3.

The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value and the

measured value.

4.

Press the REL button to exit the relative mode.

Note: The Relative function does not operate in the Frequency function.

HOLD

The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key momentarily to

activate or to exit the HOLD function.

AUTO POWER OFF

The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 30 minutes.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION

The

icon will appear in the display when the battery voltage becomes low. Replace the

battery when this appears.
