ranges:

1) The red lights at the “V” and “COM” jacks will be 
    off after the test leads are plugged in.
2) The buzzer will sound upon misconnection of the
    test leads in the “mA” or “10A” jacks to warn the 
    user.  At the same time, the lights at the “V” and 
    “COM” jacks will flash to remind the user to plug
    in the test leads there.
2. At mA, hFE,     ranges:
    The red lights at the “mA” and “COM” jacks will 
    be off after the test leads are plugged in.
    The buzzer will sound upon misconnection of 
    the test leads in the “V” or “10A” jacks to warn the 
    user.  At the same time, the red lights at the “mA” 
    and “COM” jacks will flash to remind the user to
    plug in the test leads there.
3. At 10A range:
1) The red lights at the “10A” and “COM” jacks will be
     off after the test leads are plugged in.
2) The buzzer will sound upon misconnection of the
     test leads in the “V” or “mA” jacks to warn the user.
