AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION 

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. This automatically selects 
the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most 
measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform 
the following: 
1. Press 

the

 RANGE

 button. The “

Auto”

 display indicator will turn off. 

2. Press 

the 

RANGE

 key to step through the available ranges. Observe the decimal point and 

units displayed until the preferred range is located. 

3. 

To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Autoranging, press and hold the

 RANGE

 key 

for 2 seconds. 

Note:

 Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance and Frequency functions. 

RELATIVE MODE 

The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored zero 
reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements made in 
comparison to that value. The displayed value is the difference between the reference value and the 
measured value. 
1. 

Perform the measurement as described in the operating instructions. 

2. Press 

the 

REL

 button to store (zero) the reading in the display. The "

REL

" indicator will appear 

on the display. 

3. 

The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value and the measured value. 

4. Press 

the 

REL

 button to exit the relative mode. 

Note:

 The Relative function does not operate in the Frequency function. 

HOLD 

The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the 

HOLD

 key momentarily to activate or 

to exit the 

HOLD

 function. 

AUTO POWER OFF 

The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 30 minutes.  

LOW BATTERY INDICATION 

The 

 icon will appear in the display when the battery voltage becomes low. Replace the battery 

when this appears.
