Instruction manual

3.1.2 DATA HOLD mode
Data Hold mode makes the meter stop updating the
display. Enabling Data Hold function in autorange mode
makes the meter switch to Manual ranging mode, but
the full-scale range remains the same. Data Hold
function can be cancelled by changing the measurement
mode, pressing RANGE key, or push HOLD key again.
To enter and exit the Data Hold mode:
1. Press HOLD key (short press). Fixes the display on
the current value, “H” is displayed.
2. A second short press returns the meter to normal
mode.
3.1.3 Manual ranging and Autorange mode
The Meter has both manual ranging and autorange
options.
* In the autorange mode, the Meter selects the best
range for the input detected. This allows you to switch
test points without having to reset the range.
* In the manual ranging mode, you select the range.
This allows you to override autorange and lock the
meter in a specific range.
* The Meter defaults to the autorange mode in
measurement functions that have more than one range.
When the Meter is in the autorange mode, AUTO is
displayed.
To enter and exit the manual range mode:
1. Press RANGE key. The Meter enters the manual
ranging mode. AUTO turns off. Each presses of
RANGE key increments the range. When the highest
range is reached, the Meter wraps to the lowest
range.

NOTE: If you manually change the measurement range
after entering the Data Hold modes, the Meter exits this
mode.
2. To exit the manual ranging mode, press and hold
down RANGE key for two seconds. The Meter
returns to the autorange mode and AUTO is
displayed.
3.1.4 Battery Saver
The Meter enters the "sleep mode" and blanks the display
if the Meter is on but not used for 15 minutes.
Press the HOLD key or rotate the rotary switch to wake
the meter up.
To disable the Sleep mode, hold down the SELECT key
while turning the meter on.
One minute before power off, the beeper will sound 5
sounds. The beeper will sound again before power off.
3.1.5 Relative measurement mode
The Meter will display relative measurement in all
functions except frequency.
To enter and exit the relative measurement mode:
1. With the Meter in the desired function, touch the test
leads to the circuit on which you want future
measurement to be based.
2. Press REL key to store the measured value and
activate the relative measurement mode. The
difference between the reference value and
subsequent reading is displayed.
3. Press REL key for more than 2 seconds to return
the Meter to normal operation.
