When you measure voltage, the AC ( ), DC ( ), or AC+DC ( ) indicator is
displayed. A voltage warning sign ( ) will appear whenever a potentially
hazardous voltage is being measured.
The virtual scale indicates the measured value and the average, maximum, and
minimum values. This allows you to quickly estimate different attributes of the
input, such as variability (difference between min and max) and stability (average
reading versus current reading).
If there is an input overload, OVERLOAD will be shown and no readings will be
displayed.
For accurate measurement results, allow the multimeter to warm up for 30
minutes.
