RELATIVE MODE; DC-ZERO MODE : ∆
Relative∆ mode allows the user to offset the meter consecutive
measurements with the main display displaying reading as the
reference value. LCD “ ” turns on. Press the (HOLD) button for ∆ ∆
one second or more to toggle Relative mode. When in DCA ∆
function, however, DC-Zero mode instead will be activated.
DC-Zero mode is a feature to temporarily offset DCA residue
readings caused by residual magnetic field of the jaws as in DCA
functions. Press the Zero (HOLD) button for one second or more to
apply. The meter displays “dc_0" on each activation before
continuing measurements. Apply this mode repeatedly to get a zero
reading before making any DCA measurements for best measuring
accuracy. The meter will give 3 short beeps, however, to warn for
null activation if the display reading is beyond a reasonable residue
of -5 to 5 DCA.
HOLD :
Hold feature freezes the display for later view. LCD “ ” turns on.
Press the HOLD button momentarily to toggle the hold feature.

RECORD MODE :
Press REC button momentarily to activate MAX/MIN recording mode.
LCD MAX & MIN turn on. The meter beeps when new MAX
(maximum) or MIN (minimum) reading is updated. Press the button
momentarily to read the MAX, MIN & MAXMIN (active measurement)
readings in sequence. Press the button for 1 second or more to exit
this mode. Auto-Power-Off is disabled automatically in this mode.

5ms CREST MODE :
Press CREST button for one second or more to activate CREST mode
(instantaneous PEAK-HOLD) to capture current or voltage peak values
in duration as short as 5ms. LCD & MAX turn on. The meter beeps
when new MAX (maximum) or MIN (minimum) reading is updated.
Press the button momentarily to toggle the MAX and MIN readings.
Press the button for 1 second or more to exit this mode. Auto-power-

LCD Backlight & Auto-Backlight-Off (ABO) :
Press the SELECT button for 1 second or more to toggle the LCD
backlight. The ABO mode turns the LCD backlight off automatically
after idling for 10 minutes to extend battery life. See Power-on
Options section for disabling ABO.
In other words, the meter will intelligently reset the APO mode when it
is under normal measurements. To wake up the meter from APO,
press the SELECT button momentarily and release, or turn the rotary
switch OFF and then back on. Always turn the rotary switch to the
OFF position when the meter is not in use.
Intelligent Auto-Power-Off (APO) :
The Auto-Power-Off (APO) mode turns the meter off automatically to
extend battery life after approximately 32 minutes of no specified
activities, where applicable, below :
1. Rotary switch or push button operations.
2. Significant measuring readings of above 8.5% of ranges.
3. Non-over-range readings for Resistance, Continuity or Diode function.
4. Non-zero readings for Hz function.
