Using the Meter

4.1 Data Hold

4.2.1 

Note: 

In voltage, current, resistance and capacitance 

          modes, the default range is “AUTO”
4.2.2 Press “

RANGE

” to enter manual ranging.Each 

          press switches to a higher range.Pressing the 
          button at the highest range will return to the lowest 
          range.
4.2.3 Hold “

RANGE

” to return to “AUTO”

4.2.4 Pressing “

RANGE

” in Max/Min mode will return the 

          meter to normal reading.

Manual range is disabled in frequency mode.

4.2 Manual Range

4.1.1 During a measurement, press the “

HOLD

” button 

          once to hold the reading.
4.1.2 Press “

HOLD

” again to release the hold.

4.3 Relative Measurement Mode Switch

4.3.1 
          will store the reading when pressed and display the 
          difference between current reading and the stored 
          reading.

Press “

REL     

to enter relative measurement. This 

4.4.1 Press “

MAX/MIN

” to display the maximum value 

          recorded
4.4.2 Press “

MAX/MIN

” again to display the minimum 

          value recorded.
4.4.3 Hold “

MAX/MIN

” to return to normal readings.

4.4 Maximum/Minimum Reading

4.5 Function Switching

4.6 Backlight

4.7 Automatic Power-off 

4.8 Non-Contact Voltage Detection (NCV)

4.7.1 If there is no operation for 15 minutes after turning 
          the machine on, the meter will automatically power 
          off to save the battery.
4.7.2 After automatic power-off, press any key to turn the 
          meter on again. 
4.7.3 Holding the "

FUNC

" key when powering on will 

          cancel automatic power-off function.

4.8.1 With the rotary switch in any position except OFF, 
          hold down the “

NCV

” button.

4.8.2 Move the tip of the meter near the voltage source 
          or conductor.If the voltage detected is greater than 
          110VAC, the buzzer will beep and the NCV indicator 
          near the tip of the meter will flash.

4.5.1 In voltage or current modes, press “

FUNC

” to 

          switch between AC and DC.
4.5.2 In resistance, diode or continuity modes, press
          “

FUNC

” to switch between measurements.

4.5.3 In temperature mode, press “

FUNC

” to switch 

          between °C and °F.

4.6.1 Press “     ”to turn on backlight.Press again to turn off. 

4.3.2 Press “

REL     ”

 again to return to normal.
