Refresh Hold
Users are required to activate the Refresh Hold in the setup mode.
1 Press   to enter Refresh Hold mode. The present value will 
be held, and the   annunciator is displayed. 
2 The meter is ready to hold new measuring value once the variation of 
measuring value exceeds the setting of variation count, and the
 annunciator is flashed. 
3 The hold value will be updated until the measuring value is stable. The
 annunciator will stop flashing and stays lit, an audible tone will 
sound to remind user.
4 Press   again to disable this function.
NULL (Relative)
The NULL function subtracts a stored value from the present measure-
ment and displays the difference between the two values.
1 Press   to store the displayed reading as the reference value to be 
subtracted from subsequent measurements and to set the display to 
zero. The NULL annunciator is displayed. 
2 Press   to view the stored reference value. The NULL annunciator 
will flash for three seconds before the display returns to zero. To exit 
this mode, press   while NULL is flashing on the display. 
NOTE
• For voltage, current and capacitance measurements, the holding value will not be 
updated if the reading is below 50 counts. 
• For resistance and diode measurements, the holding value will not be updated if the 
reading is in “OL” (open state). 
• The holding value may not be updated if the reading does not reach stable state for all 
measurements.
