Selecting Functions
Turn the rotary switch in either direction to select a function.
The range is automatically selected by the meter. But you can also select a
range within a function by pressing the range button. Always select a range
higher than you expect the measurement to be. Then select a lower range if
better accuracy is needed.
•
If the range is too high, then reading are less accurate.
•
If the range is too low, the meter will show OL (over limit).
