3.1 Sleep Function
This is a function to prevent the instrument from being left powered on in
order to conserve battery life. This function causes the instrument to enter
the Sleep (powered-down) mode about 30 minutes after the last switch or
button operation.
To exit the Sleep mode, turn the Function Selector switch back to "OFF",
then to any other position, or press any button.
The current is consumed a little in the Sleep mode.
NOTE
● Connecting the plug to the OUTPUT terminal disables the Sleep
function. The function is enabled on removing the plug from the terminal.
● The Sleep function is disabled in the PEAK measurement mode.

automatically switched from the normal 3 times/sec to 2 times/sec to
reduce fluctuation of the reading. "LoHz" is also indicated where input is
3% of full scale or less.
