respectively.*
If you have selected a measurement range that is too low,
the signal will cause an overload. If the sound level meter is
currently overloaded, a + is shown to the right of the quasi-
analogue scale. If the sound level meter has been overloaded
during a measurement since the last reset,
OVL
is shown at
the right-hand side of the screen, under the quasi-analogue
scale.
* You can set the sound level meter to reset when changing the measurement range (see
section 3.9). Then, if there are more than 1min of measurement results in the buffer (i.e.
the elapsed time shown is greater than 1min), the screen tells you that changing the
measurement range will erase all previous measurement results from the buffer.
If you do not want to erase the measurement results, press
〈
NO

. The measurement
range will not change.
Press

to change the range and erase the measurement results.
