Model 189 are discussed in Chapter 4. These capabilities
include the following:
• An enhanced memory function that features an
additional position (VIEW MEM) on the rotary switch.
• Logging
• Save
• Memory
Turning the Meter On
To turn the meter on, turn the rotary switch from OFF to
any switch setting.
The ac volts function (shown in Figure 2-1) is assumed in
the following discussion. You do not need connections to
the input terminals at this time.
If you want a view of the full display (all segments
illuminated), press and hold Q while turning the meter
on. Release the button when you are done viewing the full
display.
