Special features
The following special features
and functions may make it easier
to use your DMM.

Annunciators show at a glance
what is being measured (volts,
ohms, etc.).
•
One-switch operation makes
it easy to select measurement
functions.
•
Overload protection prevents
damage to both the meter and
the circuit, while protecting the
user.
•
Special high-energy fuses pro-
vide extra protection for user
and meter during current mea-
surements and overloads.

range. Manual ranging lets you

leads in reverse you won’t
damage the meter.
