Disconnect the meter from the measuring circuit before you open it, and
see section "18.Maintenance"!

Automatic  TURN-OFF

The meter turns off automatically, when the measured value remains
constant (var iations of the measured v alue  <  + 2digits) for about 10
minutes and when neither a pushbutton nor the function selector switch
is operated during that time. It remains ON, however, when a current
measuring range is selected and a measured value>30digits is displayed.

How to prevent automatic TURN-OFF

In order to prevent automatic "TURN OFF" select "CONTINUOUSLY
ON" mode. For this, press y ellow multi-function pushbutton (5) and the
"ON/OFF" pushbutton (2) together. The function "CONTINUOUSLY ON"
is shown on the LCD (1) by the symbol

(8).

Turning the multimeter OFF

Press the "ON/OFF" pushbutton (2).

4. Function and range selection

The function selector switch (6) is coupled with the Automatic terminal
Blocking System (ABS) which allows access only to two correct sockets
for each function. Prior to switching to the "mA" or "A" functions or from
the "mA" or "A" functions, remove the test lead from the corresponding
socket. When the test leads are plugged-in, the terminal blocking systems
prevents accidental switching to nonpermissible functions.

The current measuring ranges mentioned above are not automatically
selected when the meter in switched ON. When you need these
measuring ranges for your measurements, you must additionally activate
them.

set the function selector switch (6) to "

" (yellow symbol)

Briey press the yellow multi-function pushbutton (5).
The multimeter acknowledges the start of an offset calibration for
these DC current measuring ranges with a sound signal. The digital
display (9) of the multimeter shows "CAL" during the calibration
procedure.
Wait for "CAL" to disappear from the display.
Thereafter, the above current measuring ranges are switched "ON".
They remain switched-ON until the multimeter turns OFF
automatically or is switched OFF manually.

Note:

Automatic turn-OFF is inactive on all current measuring ranges when
the measured value display exceeds 30 digits.
Set the function selector switch (6) to the desired position.

4.2  A utoranging

The multimeters feature autoranging for all measuring ranges with the
exception of the 30 mV 

, 300 mV

and 10 A 

ranges. Autoranging

is automatically selected after switching the multimeter ON. According
to the measured quantity applied, the multimeter automatically selects
the measuring range which gives the best resolution. When switching to
frequency measurement and to ratio measurement, the previously
selected voltage measuring range is maintained.
