Making Measurements
If you get an overrange indication, change
the range setting until you get a reading in
the upper half of the range (0 to + 10 dB).
Notes:
• The underrange or overrange indica-
tion can also appear when you recall
a measurement using data hold and
the measurement is under or over the
selected range. See “Using Data
Hold.”
• The meter cannot measure sound
levels lower than 50 dB or higher than
126 dB.
USING DATA HOLD
The data-hold function lets you store the
current measurements in memory and
freeze a measurements on the display.
The meter stores the continuous average,
the maximum, and the minimum sound
levels for the last 1 second.
To store the current measurements, press
DH
during a continuous average or maxi-
mum measurement. The last average
measurement or last maximum measure-
ment (with
MAX
) appears on the display.
