75% of max load). The display will read out a number in mV. Take your initial load and divide it by the number
displayed. The load divided by the output number will become your scale factor. For every decimal place
chosen (step 5), multiply your scale factor by 10. Once the scale factor is calculated, press the Menu button
until SCALE appears on the display. Then press Peak and change the scale factor from 1 to the calculated value.
Hit the Menu button in order to store the new scale factor. The meter is now ready for use.
