U1271A/U1272A Handheld Digital Multimeter
Performing Measurements and Tests
8 U1271A/U1272A Quick Start Guide
1 Press   for more than 1 second to enter the multimeter’s 
setup menu.
2 Press   or   until   is shown on the 
secondary display.
3 Press   or   to enable the Filter.
Refer to the table below for the respective firmware ver-
sions.
4 Press   to save your changes.
5 Press and hold   until the multimeter restarts and returns 
to normal operation. Turn the multimeter to DC Voltage 
mode to verify that the LPF symbol is turned on.
LPF during AC measurements:
• Passing the measured signal through a LPF help blocks 
unwanted voltages such as electronic noise.
• Use the LPF function to improve measurement on compos-
ite sine waves that are typically generated by inverters and 
variable frequency motor drives.

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, enable 
the Filter (
) to verify the presence of hazardous DC 
voltages. Displayed DC voltages can be influenced by high 
frequency AC components and must be filtered to assure 
an accurate reading.
Press   while performing AC 
voltage measurements to pass the 
measured signal through a low pass 
filter.
