The meter will accumulate up to 100 readings. After all
100 readings are stored, it will not add new readings until
the memory has been cleared. It will also continue to display
the average of all 100 readings as a reminder that the
memory is full.

Readings below 6% will be displayed as “.0”. Those above
40% will be displayed as “99.9.” Neither will be added to
the accumulated readings or used in calculation of average or
highest reading.
