Front Panel Operation
1. How do I exit the menu system?

RDGS.

3. I cannot read AC or DC current.
- You might not be connecting to the correct inputs. For low current measurements (< 1
A), connect SENSE LO and INPUT LO terminals. For high current measurements (1
to 12 A), connect INPUT LO and 10 A terminals.
- Auto range is only available for low current measurements ( 12 mA and 120 mA(DCI)
ranges only). If you are measuring current outside of these two ranges, use the Up
Arrow key to manually select a higher current range.
- If you have connected SENSE LO and INPUT LO terminals with a current above 2 A,
the front panel protection fuse may have been blown already. Check the fuse and
replace it if necessary. See “3.3.2 Front Panel Fuse Replacement” for details.

SOUND.

Left or Right Arrow key to change it to ON.
