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, Capacitance
or Temperature.
MODE Button
Used to select AC or DC, 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, Temperature, Continuity or Diode Test.
MAX/MIN/AVG Button
1. Momentarily press the MAX/MIN/AVG button to activate the MAX/MIN/Average
mode. "MAX" will appear on the LCD display and the meter will display and hold
the highest reading. The meter will update the reading when a higher "max" occurs.
2. Momentarily press the MAX/MIN/AVG button again to view the lowest reading.
"MIN" will appear on the LCD display and the meter will display and hold the
lowest reading. The meter will update the reading when a lower "min" occurs.

3. Momentarily press the MAX/MIN/AVG button once more to view the average reading.
The "AVG" symbol will appear on the LCD display and the meter will display the
running average. The meter will update the reading when the average value changes.
4. Press and hold the MAX/MIN/AVG button to end MAX/MIN/Average and return
to normal operation.
NOTE: The meter does not Autorange when MAX/MIN/AVG is active. The meter
will display OL if the reading exceeds the range. When this occurs, exit
MAX/MIN/AVG and use the RANGE button to select a higher range. MAX/MIN/
AVG does not work on Frequency, Duty Cycle or Capacitance.
Flashlight/PEAK Button
Momentarily press the PEAK button to turn the flashlight on and off.
The PEAK function is accessible when measuring AC Voltage or Current. It captures and
displays the highest positive peak and the highest negative peak of the AC waveform.
1. Press and hold the PEAK button until "Peak MAX" appears on the LCD display.
The meter will display the highest reading and will update the reading when a
higher positive peak occurs.
2. To view highest negative peak, press the PEAK button for approximately one
second. "Peak MIN" will appear on the LCD display and the meter will display and
hold the highest reading. The meter will update the reading when a higher
negative peak occurs.
3. Press the PEAK button for approximately one second to switch between Peak
MAX and Peak MIN readings.
4. Press and hold the PEAK button to exit PEAK and return to normal operation.
NOTE: The meter does not Autorange in the PEAK Mode. The meter will display
OL if the reading exceeds the range. When this occurs, exit PEAK and use the
range button to select a higher range.
