3.1. MODE AND REL BUTTON
Press the MODE button to select AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, frequency, resistance, diode test,
continuity or capacitance, temperature.
Press the REL button for >2 second to turn on or off the Relative function.
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.
Note: REL does not work on Frequency, Diode Test, Continuity.
