NOTE

: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not 

connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing reading. 
This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The reading will 
stabilize and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit. 
 

AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION 

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into 
Autoranging. This automatically selects the best range for the 
measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most 
measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be 
manually selected, perform the following: 

1.  Press the 

RANGE

 key. The “

AUTO”

 display indicator will turn off 

or select diode /beeper, AC/DC Clamp 

2.  Press the 

RANGE

 key to step through the available ranges until you 

select the range you want. 

3.  To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Autoranging, press 

and hold the 

RANGE

 key for 2 seconds. 

Note:

 Manual ranging does not apply for the Frequency functions.
