Display (Fig 2)

 

 

The lCd displays the 

 

measured values obtained in  

 

tests and various other 

 

information regarding the  

 

state/operation of the meter.  

 

The following is an illustration  

 

and descriptive list to enable  

 

the user to understand the  

 

information presented. 

Battery is low. 

Replace immediately using a PP3 9V 

battery. Failure to do so could lead to 

inaccurate readings. 

Indicates an AC voltage or current.

The displayed value is the mean value

Indicates a negative reading
diode test

Continuity buzzer is on
data hold function is active

Indicates the requirement for test leads 

to be connected.
