1. If the device is set to the resistance measurement function Q check that the display indicates A P O for auto power off SCAN for automatic search for the quantity to be measured dashes to indicate search in progress Withdraw the two leads from their compartment and establish a good contact between the metallic parts of the two test probes the value measured and displayed must change from to 0 00 accompanied by the message on the value displayed may not be exactly zero but must remain very close to zero The instrument is operational when the various states described above have been checked and are correct The rotary switch can then be set to the desired function or to OFF to switch the instrument off 2 3 Deactivating Auto Power Off In order to extend the life of the batteries the device switches itself off automatically approximately 10 minutes after it is switched on if no key or change of function has been activated 6 The device warns that it is about to switch off by emitting 3 series of 2 audible beeps and if no action is taken then emits a long beep and switches itself off When the multimeter has switched itself off automatically it can be reactivated by any action on a key or on the rotary switch Automatic switching off can be deactivated by holding down the Hz MAX MIN or R H key while switching on To eliminate the slight residual drain of the batteries in2. The 600mV range can be used only in the manual range change mode by repeated presses on the RANGE key The other ranges can be used in either the manual or the automatic range change mode Withdraw the test probes and leads from their compartment Switch the instrument on in the V setting Apply the metallic part of the black test probe on the part of the circuit to be tested assumed closest to the earth potential Apply the metallic part of the red test probe on the partof the circuit to be tested assumed farthest from the earth potential In the SCAN mode if the voltage to be measured is greater than 0 5V the multimeter automatically determines if an AC or DC measurement must be made If necessary press the SEL key briefly to force an AC voltage measurement display m of the Ne symbol instead of mm m Read the measurement result after stabilization 2 6 Frequency measurement Hz optimum safety measurements of voltages between 300V and 600V must be made only on category Ill installations or on circuits of which the possible overvoltage levels are known to be less than those of category Ill The instrument has 3 measurement ranges 600 0Hz 6 000kHz and 60 00kHz Measurement of the frequency of the voltage measured start the AC voltage measurement method then press the Hz key display of the Hz symbol instead of V Read the measurement result after stabilization 2 7 Resis
