At any time, a long press on the key will quit the MIN/MAX mode.If the INRUSH function was selected (see description

§ 3.7), a short pressure will return to MIN/MAX mode.

Note:

 In MIN/MAX mode, the Automatic stop function of the unit is unavailable (symbol       )

- Hz 

A short press displays the frequency of the measured signal, another press switches back to the previous value.

       This key is active only for the AAC, VAC and W functions.

 -     Short pressure:

 display backlight command.

        Automatic shutdown after 2 minutes.

        

Held pressure:

 display of estimated remaining battery power, expressed in hours (except INRUSH

        and phase order functions).

HOLD key/ switch combination 

(see description § 3.12):

- Suppression of automatic stop function

- Activation of the V-Live function

- Display of the internal software version

Yellow key/ switch combination 

(see description § 3.12):

- Modification of audio indication threshold in continuity test -Default configuration of the unit

MIN/MAX key/ switch combination

(see description § 3.12):

-Date of last calibration performed on unit

Liquid crystal display

The liquid crystal display includes the digital display of the measured values, the related units and symbols.

Digital display
