Special Functions
Auto power OFF function
In order to avoid that the operating life of the battery is shortened unnecessarily, an
automatic switch-off function has been implemented. If a button has not been pres-
sed or the rotary switch has not been activated for more than 35 minutes, the mea-
suring instrument will be switched off.
To switch on the measuring instrument again, first switch it off and then switch it on
again in the appropriate measuring range.
HOLD function
The HOLD function freezes the currently indicated measuring value to allow you to
read it or to take the record without rush.
ƽ
If you test live wires make sure that this function is deactivated
before the measurement starts. Otherwise, a false measuring
result is simulated!
To switch on the HOLD function press the "HOLD" button; an acoustic signal con-
firms this action and "HOLD" appears on the display.
To deactivate the "HOLD" function again, press this button anew or activate the
rotary switch.
REL function
The REL function allows a reference value measurement to avoid possible line losses
which may caused e.g. during resistance measurements. For this purpose, the cur-
rent indicated value is set to zero. A new reference value is set.
Press the "REL" button to activate this measuring function. "REL" appears on the
display. The automatic measuring range selection is deactivated now.
To switch off this function, the "REL" button is to be pressed once more.

static and dry cleaning cloth.
Note!
Do not use cleaning agents which contain carbon, petrol, alcohol or similar sub-
stances for cleaning purposes. The surface of the measuring instrument will be cor-
