Hold 
 The hold feature freezes the display for later view. Press the  HOLD button momentarily to 
toggle the hold feature. 
 
Relative Zero ( ) mode 
 Relative  Zero  allows  the  user  to  offset  the  meter  consecutive  measurements  with  the 
displaying reading as the reference value. Practically all displaying readings can be  set as 
relative  reference  value  including  MAX/MIN/AVG  feature  readings.  Press  the   button  for 
one second or more to toggle Relative Zero mode. 
 
Manual or Auto-ranging 
 For most auto-ranging functions (LCD 

 turns on by default), press the RANGE button 

momentarily to select manual-ranging override. The meter will remain in the range it was in, 
the LCD 

 turns off. Press the button momentarily again to select the next range. Press 

and hold the button for 1 second or more to resume auto-ranging. 
Note: Manual-ranging feature is not available to AutoV, Capacitance & Hz functions. 

 
Beep-Jack™ Input Warning 
The meter beeps as well as displays “InEr” to warn the user against possible damage to the 
meter due to improper connections to the 

A, mA, or A input jacks when another function, 

especially a voltage function, is selected. 
 
Intelligent Auto-Power-Off (APO) 
The Auto-Power-off (APO) mode turns the meter off automatically to extend battery life after 
approximately 32 minutes of no specified activities, where applicable:  
1)  Rotary switch or push button operations 
2)  Significant measuring readings of above 8.5% of ranges 
3)  Non-OL readings for Resistance, Continuity or Diode function 
4)  Non-zero readings for Hz function 
5)  Electric field signal present for EF function 
6)  Significant movement indication as in Phase Rotation functions 
In  other  words,  the  meter  will  intelligently  avoid  entering  the  APO  mode  when  it  is  under 
normal  measurements.  To  wake  up  the  meter  from  APO,  press  the  SELECT  button 
momentarily and release, or turn the rotary switch OFF and then back on. Always turn the 
rotary switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use 
 
5) MAINTENANCE 
WARNING
 
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads from 
the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate with open 
case. Install only the same type of fuse or equivalent
