4. Button Function
4.1. MODE and REL Button
• Press the MODE Button to select AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current,
Frequency, Duty Cycle, Ohms, Diode Test, Continuity or Capacitance,
Temperature, NCV and Live.
• Press the REL Button for >2 second to turn on or off the Relative function.
• The Relative function zeros out the reading on the display and stores it as
a reference, subsequent readings will be displayed as the relative
difference between the actual measurement and the stored reference
value.
Note: REL does not work on Frequency, Diode Test, Continuity, NCV, Live.
4.2. RANGE Button
• When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Auto Ranging.
• This automatically selects the best range for the measurements being
made and is generally the best mode for most measurements.
• For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually selected,
perform the following:
1. Press the RANGE Button, the “ AUTO ” display indicator will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE Button to step through the available ranges until you
select the range you want.
3. Press and hold the RANGE Button for 2 seconds to exit the Manual
Ranging mode and return to Auto Ranging.

indicator will appear on the LCD display, the meter will display and hold the
maximum reading and will update when a higher “max” occurs.
2. Press the MAX/MIN Button again to view the lowest reading, the “ MIN ”
indicator meter will appear on the LCD display, the meter will display and
hold the minimum reading and will update when a lower “min” occurs.
3. Press and hold the MAX/MIN Button to end MAX/MIN and return to normal
operation.
Note: The meter does not auto range when the MAX/MIN mode is active, the
display will read OL if the range is exceeded. When this occurs, exit
MAX/MIN and use the RANGE button to select a high range. MAX/MIN does
not work on Frequency, Duty Cycle, Diode Test, Continuity and Capacitance.
