The alert beep tone will continue to beep until the test lead is removed from the

A

terminal or until the rotary switch is set to the

function.

Input warning test (µA mA terminal)

The multimeter sounds a continuous alert beep when the test lead is inserted into
the

µA mA

terminal but the rotary switch is not set to the or

function.

The multimeter displays an input warning error (

).

Figure 1-4

Input warning display (µA mA terminal)

The alert beep tone will continue to beep until the test lead is removed from the

µA mA

terminal or until the rotary switch is set to the or

function.

NOTE

Before conducting this test, ensure that the beep function is not disabled in the

multimeter’s setup.

NOTE

Before conducting this test, ensure that the beep function is not disabled in the
