key to switch the multimeter back on, or set the toggle switch to the “OFF”
position and leave it there for at least 5 s before returning it to the “ON” position.
Note!
☞
Electrical discharges and high frequency interference may lead to erro-
neous display values, and may disable the measuring sequence. Reset
the instrument by switching it off and then, after 5 s, back on again.
Switching the Instrument Off Manually
➭
Set the toggle switch to the “OFF” position and fold the instrument closed. The
battery is automatically disconnected when the multimeter is folded closed.
Automatic Shutdown (standby)
The instrument switches itself off automatically if the measured value remains
constant for a long period of time (maximum measured value fluctuation approx.
0.8% of the measuring range per minute, or 1
°
Celsius or 1
°
Fahrenheit per
minute), and if no keys are activated for a period of approximately 10 minutes.
Shutdown is acknowledged by a brief acoustic signal. Exception: continuous
operation mode.
Note!
☞
Electrical power is supplied to the processor even after the instrument
has been switched off automatically. A closed-circuit current of about
300
µ
A remains. The instrument is only disconnected from the batteries
after it has been switched off manually with the toggle switch or with the
instrument folded.
