Power-Up Options
Holding a button down while turning the Meter on
activates a power-up option. Table 5 includes the power-
up options.
Automatic Power-Off
The Meter automatically turns off if you do not turn the
rotary switch or press a button for 30 minutes. If MIN

Replace the battery immediately.
In the capacitance function, too much electrical
charge is present on the capacitor being tested.
Invalid EEPROM data. Have Meter serviced.
Invalid calibration data. Calibrate Meter.
WTest lead alert. Displayed when the test leads are
in the A or mA/ A terminal and the selected rotary
switch position does not correspond to the terminal
being used.
Invalid model. Have Meter serviced.
Open thermocouple is detected.

Overload condition is detected.
Indication
MAX Recording is enabled, the Meter will not power off.
To disable automatic power-off, refer to Table 4.
Input Alert
If a test lead is plugged into the mA/ A or A terminal, but
the rotary switch is not set to the correct current position,
the beeper warns you by making a chirping sound and
the display flashes “LEAd”. This warning is intended to
stop you from attempting to measure voltage, continuity,
resistance, capacitance, or diode values when the leads
are plugged into a current terminal.
Placing the probes across (in parallel with) a
powered circuit when a lead is plugged into a
current terminal can damage the circuit you
are testing and blow the Meter's fuse. This
can happen because the resistance through
the Meter's current terminals is very low, so
the Meter acts like a short circuit.
