4. BUTTONS FUNCTION
Prediction : Buzzer beeps once for every key-press.
Buzzer beeps twice for every invalid key-press.
Figure 3
4.1 LIGHT
* This button is used to turn on or turn off the backlight.
* This button is disabled in DATA LOG functions.
4.2 BAR
* This button toggles analog bar center zero bar displays.
Zero at center.
Zero at center (graph zoomed ÷2).
* This button is disabled in DATA LOG and non-DC volt and current function.

7
4.3 PEAK HOLD
* This button longlegs the peak hold on and off.
* On the peak hold mode, push the M/M/A button to toggle peak hold max and
min values.
* The beeper sounds when new minimum or maximum values are detected.
4.4 AUTO HOLD
* Auto hold is activated when a stable reading is first achieved.
* This button toggles the auto hold mode on and off.
* With auto hold on, the instrument beeps when the reading is updated, the
auto hold reading is displayed on sub-display with AH indicator.
* Changing range escapes.
* Switches to Manual range mode when press this key under Resistance ,
Capacitance and frequency functions.
* 2GΩrange has no this function.
* / position has no this function.
4.5 BLUE
* The blue button toggles between dual functions (black or blue) located on the dial.
4.6 M/M/A
* This button toggles the MAX/MIN/AVG .
* When this button is first time pressed, MAX indicator is displayed and the
value displayed on sub-display is the most recent maximum value.
The beeper sounds with each new update.
* Pressing on this key for ≧2 sec escapes.
4.7 REL △
* This function provides subtraction reading on main display from measured
reading.
* The value on main display when this key is press stores in memory for
reference of subtraction, then the main display turns to “zero” “△” is on , the
reference is on sub-display. Every reading is subtracted by reference in
memory in this mode.
* Press again to escape.
4.8 Range
* It switches meter auto ranging or manual ranging and range change in
manual range mode.
* Pressing this key for 2 sec turns manual ranging to auto ranging mode.

8
4.9 dB/dBm
* Pressing RANGE key for ≧2 sec enables "dB/dBm" function in AC Volt
mode; One press in this mode toggles dB and dBm.
* The reading of dB or dBm appears on sub-display, reference resistance
for dBm is 600Ωand reference voltage for dB is 1V.
* Again 2 sec press on this key in this mode escaps.
4.10 STORE
* Pressing M/M/A key for ≧2 sec enables "STORE" function, one press
in this mode stores reading just measured, in memory offering up to 1000
stores. When store is full, Every press beeps twice.
* Again 2 sec press on this key in this mode escaps.
* Power-up with PEAK key pressing to clear stores.
4.11 RECALL
* Pressing REL △key for ≧2 enables "RECALL" function.
* Again 2 sec press on this key in this mode escaps.
* In RECALL mode, use arrow keys (“△” , “ ▽“) marked above yellow
and BAR keys to scroll and veiw up and down the stored readings;
arrow keys perform scroll rate of 10 data/sec when is pressed ≧2
sec and hold.
4.12 RED (Data Log)
* Predictions : A. Data quantities : 40K readings form as sequence
number on sub-display up to 9999 and each 1/4
scale of bar indicates 10K. (for 109N only)
B. RANGE function is only enable in just data log mode.
C. Any position (measuring function) change escaps out
without storing any data to memory.
D. Max. Pause time is 4095 seconds, exceed pause
time stores as 4095 seconds.
E. Max. Pause and Log Rate setting quantities are 3.6K.
F. Auto Power Off function is disabled.
* Pressing BLUE key ≧2 sec turns meter into Data log mode, then
can be chose desired Data log function.
* Again 2 sec press on this key in this mode while not in any
Data Log function mode escaps, otherwise, any press on this
key is invalid.
4.12.1 LOG RATE
* Selectable Log Rate has 0.5", 1", 10", 30", 60", 120", 180", 240" 300”,
360”, 480” and 600”.
