 All ac ranges are specified from 1 % to 100 % of range. 

Below 5 % of range, add 6 counts. 

Because inputs below 1 % of range are not specified, it is 
normal for this and other true-rms meters to display nonzero 
readings when the test leads are disconnected from a circuit 
or are shorted together. For volts and amps, crest factor of
