AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION
When the meter is first turned on, it automatically enters the AUTO RANGE mode. 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 key. The “AUTO” display indicator will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE key to step through the available ranges.
3. To exit the MANUAL RANGE mode, press EXIT
Note: MANUAL RANGE is not available for the Temperature functions.
MAX/MIN
1. Press the MAX/MIN key to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. The display icon "MAX" will
appear. The meter’s left-most auxiliary display will show and hold the maximum reading,
updating only when a new “MAX” occurs. The display icon "MIN" will then appear. The right-
most auxiliary display will show and hold the minimum reading, updating only when a new
“MIN” occurs.
2. To exit MAX/MIN mode press EXIT.
RELATIVE MODE
The relative measurement mode displays readings that are relative to a stored reference value. A
reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements are 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 a reference reading; the "▲" indicator will appear on the display.
3. The auxiliary display on the right displays the initial reading (the stored value).
4. The auxiliary display on the left displays the actual currently measured value.
5. The main display shows the Relative value (measured value minus the stored value).
AC+DC
In the VAC, mV(AC), 10A(AC), mA(AC) and uA(AC) measurement modes, press the EXIT button
for 2 seconds to enter AC+DC test mode. The LCD shows the AC+DC icon. Press EXIT to exit this
mode.
