Beeper

A single beep indicates correct operation. You can turn the single-beep feature
off in the Setup menu. A double beep indicates a warning or error condition. A
triple beep indicates the meter will auto-off in one minute. Continuous beeping
indicates there is circuit continuity while in continuity mode. You can not
disable double, triple, or continuous beeps.

Auto-Off

The auto-off feature automatically turns off the meter if no controls or settings
are changed within a set amount of time. To turn on the meter after auto-off,
press any button. The meter will return to the state it was in before auto-off
occurred, but held values are lost.
Use the Setup menu to adjust the auto-off delay. The default auto-off time is
thirty minutes. You can disable auto-off by pressing when you turn on
HOLD
the meter or by using the Setup menu.
Auto-off is disabled during MIN MAX mode.

Power-Up Options

To activate power-up functions, press and hold a button or softkey when you
turn on the meter. Hold the button or softkey until you hear a single beep and
see a text acknowledgment on the display (see Table 3 below). The following
table lists all power-up options. Most of the power-up option descriptions also
appear on the rear panel.
When you turn off the meter, the power-up options are not saved. Use the
Setup menu to change default settings.
