is initially turned on.
MODE BUTTON
The MODE button is used to select Resistance, Continuity or Diode Test when the
meter is set to ohms, to select °F or °C when set to temperature,
and to select AC or DC when set to current.
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, momentarily press the MAX/MIN button. "MAX" will appear on the
LCD display along with the highest reading. Momentarily press the MAX/MIN
button to sequence the meter from MAX to MIN, from MIN to the actual reading,

reading is displayed and a flashing "MAX MIN" will appear when the actual
reading is displayed. Press and hold the MAX/MIN button to end MAX/MIN and
return to normal operation. (MAX/MIN does not operate on Resistance,
Continuity, Diode Test, Capacitance, or Duty Cycle. Also Frequency and Duty Cycle
when the meter is set to AC Voltage or AC Current.)

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. Press the REL button to
activate. The "REL" indicator will appear on the LCD display along with the relative
reading. Press the REL button again, to return to normal operation. (RELATIVE
does not work on Diode Test and Duty Cycle. Also Frequency and Duty Cycle when the
rotary function switch is set to AC Voltage or AC Current.)
NOTE: The meter does not Autorange when the Relative mode is
active. The display will read OL if the difference exceeds the range.
Hz % button
The Hz% button is used to select Frequency (Hz) or Duty Cycle (%) when the meter
is set to AC voltage, AC current or Frequency.

Press the button to turn the flashlight on.
Press the button again to turn the flashlight off.
Auto Power Off
To conserve battery power, the meter automatically turns off after approximately
