indicator light just above the "NCV" button. See reverse side for instructions.
Selection key, switches measurement functions that share a selector position. By pressing
"SEL" key to toggle between AC and DC Volts and Diode and Continuity.
Range key, press "RAN" key; to toggle between Automatic Ranging and Manual Ranging.
"Auto" icon will show on the display. Press and hold "RAN" to return to Auto Ranging.
Max selection key. Press to hold the maximum value on the display. Press again to return to
live reading.
Hold key, press "HOLD" key; the reading will be locked and "HOLD" icon will display on
display. Press "HOLD" key again to release.
Backlight key: Press and hold "Backlight" key for 2 seconds to turn on. Press and Hold again
to turn off. The Worklight only turns on with the Backlight in AC Current mode.
