Operation
RANGE Button
The Autorange mode automatically selects the proper range for the measurement
being made and is generally the best mode for most applications. For measurement
situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following:
1. Momentarily press the RANGE button. The "AUTO" indicator will no longer be
shown on the LCD display.
2. Momentarily press the RANGE button to step through the available ranges until
the desired range is selected.
3. To exit the Manual Ranging mode, press and hold the RANGE button until the
"AUTO" indicator reappears.
NOTE: The range button does not work on Frequency, Duty Cycle or Capacitance.
MODE Button
Used to select AC or DC current, Frequency or Duty Cycle, Resistance, Continuity
or Diode Test, and °C or °F.
REL button
The RELATIVE function zeros out the reading on the display and stores it as a
reference. Subsequent readings will be displayed as the relative difference
between the actual measurement and the stored reference value. To activate,
press the REL button. The "REL" indicator will appear on the LCD display along
with the relative reading. Press the REL button again to return to normal operation.
NOTE: The meter does not Autorange when the Relative mode is active. The
display will read OL if the difference exceeds the range. When this occurs, exit
REL and use the RANGE button to select a higher range. REL does not work on
Frequency, Duty cycle, Continuity or Diode Test.

NOTE: The meter does not Autorange when the MAX/MIN mode is active. The
display will read OL if the reading exceeds the range. When this occurs, exit
MAX/MIN and use the RANGE button to select a higher range. MAX/MIN does
not work on Frequency, Duty Cycle, Capacitance, Continuity or Diode Test.
HOLD/Backlight
To freeze the reading, momentarily press the HOLD
on the LCD display while the reading is frozen. Momentarily press the HOLD
button again to exit HOLD and return to normal operation.
To turn the backlight on, press and hold the HOLD
