Manual ZERO Function 

 

By turning the MANUAL control in either direction the reading will 
be altered.  Turning the control clockwise adds to the reading, 
turning it counterclockwise subtracts from the reading.  Turning it 
slowly results in a fine adjustment, turning it quickly results in a 
coarse adjustment. 
 

NOTE: 

Making a manual ZERO adjustment not only affects the  

lowest range but also the highest range, though to a lesser extent.  
For example, assume an automatic ZERO has already been 
performed, after which both ranges should read zero.  Now a 
manual adjustment is made that causes the reading on the lowest 
range to be non-zero.  The reading on the other range may also
