3.1.2 Manual ranging and Autorange mode
The Meter has both manual ranging and autorange options.

the input detected. This allows you to switch test points
without having to reset the range.
* In the manual ranging mode, you select the range. This
allows you to override autorange and lock the meter in a

AUTO
is displayed.

entering the Data Hold modes, the Meter exits this mode.

RANGE
key for two seconds. The Meter returns to the
