the meter will beep once and hold the reading on the LCD display. Additional
Autohold readings can be taken by disconnecting the test leads for at least one
second. The meter will automatically hold a new reading when the leads are
reconnected. Autohold readings will be held for 30 seconds. Afterwards, the meter
