Manual Ranging and Autoranging 
The Meter has both Manual range and Autorange modes. 
•  In the Autorange mode, the Meter selects the range with the 
best resolution. 
•  In the Manual Range mode, you override Autorange and select 
the range yourself. 
When you turn the Meter on, it defaults to Autorange and Auto 
Range is displayed. 
1.  To enter the Manual Range mode, press RANGE.  
Manual Range is displayed. 
2.  In the Manual Range mode, press RANGE to increment the 
range. After the highest range, the Meter wraps to the lowest 
range. 
Note 
You cannot manually change the range in the MIN MAX 
AVG mode.  
If you press RANGE while in MIN MAX AVG, the Meter 
beeps twice, indicating an invalid operation, and the range 
does not change. 
3.  To exit Manual Range, press RANGE for 1 second or turn the 
rotary switch.  
The Meter returns to Autorange and Auto Range is displayed.
