5. Power On Option
To turn off the Auto Power Off function, press and hold any button
(except RESET) while turning the selector knob to any range
position. The Auto Power Off indicator will disappear.

A measurement range determines the maximum measurement
value. Most of the functions of the meter have more than one range.

It is important to select the correct range
• If the range is too small, “OL” shows on the display for overload.
• If the range is too large, the value of the reading will be very
small with less resolution.

best range for the input detected.
• In the auto range mode, press the
