LO: 30 ... 80 dB
MED: 50 … 100 dB
HI: 80 … 130 dB.
When you turn the meter on, it will be in manual range mode. This is helpful when you know the
measurement range in advance. The meter will be able to take readings more quickly, because the
unit does not need to first establish the range before displaying the measurement.
You can also set the range automatically. In this mode, the meter will adjust the measurement
range automatically for accuracy. The two digit number to the left of the bar graph on the LCD will
show the low end of the current range. This is helpful when you know the measurement range in
advance. The meter will be able to take readings more quickly, because the unit does not need to
first establish the range before displaying the measurement.
