If
the
test
leads are connected
to
the
Amperes
input terminal,
and the function selector switch
is
not
in
the
Amp
measurement
position, the
beeper
will
emit an
Input
Alert.
An
Input Alert
will
also
sound
if
the test
leads are
connected
to the
mAyuA
terminal
and
the function switch
is
not
in
either
Amp
position. After
an
Input Alert
sounds, the
meter
will
attempt
to
take a reading from inputs applied

Item 5 describes functions that
are selected by
setting
the rotary switch.
Each
time the rotary
switch
is
moved
from
OFF
to
a
function setting,
all
LCD
segments
will
turn
on
for
one second
as part
of
a
selftest
routine. (This
selftest
routine
is
also per-
formed
if
the rotary
switch
is
turned slowly from

The meter
is
then ready
for

and
will
respond
to
the rotary

and
pushbuttons.
