Briefly press the yellow multi-function pushbutton(s).
Now  meter  measures  frequency  on  main  display  and  Voltage  on  sub 

display.   Frequencies up to 40 KHz can be measured with this mode, but 
voltage is measured accurately up to 20 KHz (See “ Influence quantities and 
variations” on page 25)

To Exit this mode press yellow multi-function push button for long time.   

This is acknowledged by the buzzer sounding twice.

On low-Voltage systems, transient over voltages of several kilovolts can occur 
due to switching functions or lightning discharges. Direct connection of your 
meter  to  such  systems  for  voltage  measurement  can  be  dangerous.  For 
voltage measurements in power systems with nominal voltages upto 1000V,
