Rotary Switch
Turn the meter on by selecting any measurement function
(identified with white letters around the rotary switch). The
meter presents a standard display for that function
(range, measurement units, modifiers, etc.) The display
may also be influenced by some of the choices made in
Setup.
Use the blue button to select any rotary switch alternate
function (labeled in blue letters). You can also use other
buttons to choose modifiers for the selected function.
When you turn the rotary switch from one function to
another, a display for the new function appears. Button
choices made in one function do not carry over into
another function.
