DISABLING AUTO POWER OFF By default, the DMM will automatically power itself off following any period of 15 minutes of front-panel inactivity. The icon at the upper left of the LCD indicates that the Auto Power Off function is enabled. To disable the APO function, press and hold the FUNC button while powering on the meter by moving the rotary function switch to any position other than OFF. - Page 10 (1) Remove power from the circuit to be tested and discharge all high-voltage capacitors. (2) Turn the rotary switch to the , position,, depending on the µA amplitude of the current you expect to encounter. If you are unsure of the amplitude, select the 10A position first and then switch to the µA position if all of your measurements are less than 400mA.
