MODE BUTTON
The MODE button is used to select Resistance, Continuity or Diode Test when the

MAX/MIN Button
The MAX/MIN function displays the highest and lowest measurements.
The readings are updated every time a higher or lower measurement is captured.
To activate, press the MAX/MIN button. "MAX" will appear on the LCD display
