Autoranging/manual range selection
When the meter is first turned on, it automatically
goes into Autoranging. This automatically selects the

generally the best mode for most measurements. For
measurement situations requiring that a range be manu-
ally selected, perform the following:
1. Press the RANGE key. The “AUTO” display indicator
will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE key to step through the available
ranges until you select the range you want.
3. To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to
Autoranging, press and hold the RANGE key for
2 seconds.
Note:
Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance
and Frequency functions.

Note:
When using the MAX/MIN function in Autoranging mode,
the meter will “lock” into the range that is displayed on
the LCD when MAX/MIN is activated. If a MAX/Min read-
ing exceeds that range, an “OL” will be displayed. Select
the desired range BEFORE entering MAX/MIN mode.
1. Press the MAX/MIN key to activate the MAX/MIN
recording mode. The display icon “MAX” will appear.
The meter will display and hold the maximum read-
ing and will update only when a new “max” occurs.
2. Press the MAX/MIN key again and the display icon
“MIN” will appear. The meter will display and hold
the minimum reading and will update only when a
new “min” occurs.
3. To exit MAX/MIN mode press and hold the MAX/MIN
key for 2 seconds.
