Relative-Zero ( ) mode :?
Relative-Zero allows the user to offset the meter consecutive
measurement with the main display displaying reading as the
reference value. LCD “?” turns on. Press the ?( ) button for
one second or more to toggle Relative-Zero mode.
HOLD
DC-Zero mode is set instead of Relative-Zero mode, however, to
only offset the non-zero DCA residuals caused by magnetic
hysteresis of the jaws as in DCA & DC+ACA functions. Press the
?(HOLD) button for one second or more to activate/ re-activate
this mode. Apply this mode before making any single DCA or DC+
ACA measurement for best measuring accuracy. The meter shows
“dc_0” shortly to confirm activation before continuing
measurements. The beeper will sound 3 short beeps, however, to
warn for null activation if the residual is beyond a reasonable
hysteresis reading of -5 to 5 DCA.
80ms PEAK-RMS mode :
Press PEAK-RMS button for one second or more to toggle PEAK-
RMS mode to capture inrush current or voltage RMS values in
duration as short as 80ms. LCD turns on. Auto-Power-Off is
disabled automatically in this mode.
P-RMS
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 read the MAX
and MIN readings in sequence. Press the button for 1 second to
exit this mode. Auto-Power-Off is disabled automatically in this mode.
C
Flashlight & Backlighted LCD display :
Press the button momentarily to toggle the LCD backlight &
flashlight ON and OFF. The backlight & flashlight will also be turned
off automatically after 32 seconds to extend battery life.

The Complementary Beeper feature is selected in Power-up option.
Press and hold the REC button while turning the meter on to enable.
If the segments indicate a clockwise movement, the beeper sounds
a single long beep per segment cycle. If the segments indicate a
counter clockwise movement, the beeper sounds 3 short beeps per
segment cycle.
Using the Complementary Beeper feature :
Hold :
Hold feature freezes the display for later view. LCD “ ” turns on.
Press the HOLD button momentarily to toggle the hold feature.
H
Record mode :
Press REC button momentarily to activate MAX/MIN/AVG recording
mode. LCD “ ” & “MAX MIN AVG” turn on. The meter beeps when
new MAX (maximum) or MIN (minimum) reading is updated. AVG
(Average) reading is calculated over time. Press the button
momentarily to read the MAX, MIN and AVG reading in sequence.
Press the button for 1 second or more to exit this mode. Auto-
Power-Off is disabled automatically in this mode.

CAUTION :
1. Using Capacitance function in a live circuit will produce false
results and may damage the meter. In many cases the
suspected component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit
to obtain an accurate measurement reading.
2. When using Capacitance function, discharge capacitor(s) before
making any measurements. Large value capacitors should be
discharged through an appropriate resistance load.
