OPERATION Before taking any measurements, read the Safety Information Section. Always examine the instrument for damage, contamination (excessive dirt, grease, etc.) and defects. Examine the test leads for cracked or frayed insulation. If any abnormal conditions exist do not attempt to make any measurements.

RELD D D D D Button Press (REL) button to enter the Relative mode, the "RELD" annunciator turn on, zero the display, and store the displayed reading as a reference value. Press and hold down the (REL) button for 2 seconds to exit the relative mode. MIN / MAX button Press (MIN / MAX) button to enter the MIN MAX Recording mode.

HOLD Button Press (HOLD) button to toggle in and out of the Data Hold mode, except if you are already in the MIN MAX Recording mode. In the Data Hold mode, the "HOLD" annunciator is displayed and the last reading is held on the display, the beeper emits a tone, and the automatic power-off feature is disable.

7. If the junction is measured in a circuit and a low reading is obtained with both lead connections, the junction may be shunted by a resistance of less than 1kW . In this case the diode must be disconnected from the circuit for accurate testing.
MAINTENANCE WARNING Remove test leads before changing battery or fuse or performing any servicing. Battery Replacement Power is supplied by a 9 volt "transistor" battery. (NEDA 1604, IEC 6F22). The " " appears on the LCD display when replacement is needed. To replace the battery, remove the two screws from the back of the meter and lift off the battery case.
