Backlight Volts A, mA,uA Current range OPERATION To turn on the instrument turn the range knob from the OFF position to any measurement range. Note: For best battery life ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. This meter has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the meter OFF if 30 minutes elapse between uses. -
Page 8: Hold Button
HOLD button The HOLD function allows the meter to "freeze" a measurement for later reference. 1. Press the HOLD button to “freeze” the reading on the indicator. The “HOLD” message will be appear in the display. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal operation BACKLIGHT button Press the BACKLIGHT button to switch on the... - Page 9 5. To return to normal AUTO measurement mode, hold down the MAX/MIN button for 2 seconds. Peak Hold button The Peak Hold function captures the peak AC or DC voltage or current. The meter can capture negative or positive peaks as fast as 1 millisecond in duration. 1.
- Page 10 Note: If the Function switch position is changed after a calibration the Peak Hold calibration must be repeated for the new function selected. RANGE button 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.
