31, digit Liquid Crystal Display 
(LCD) With a maximum reading 
of 1999. Extended resolution of 
2999 counts is possible in manu-
al range mode. In the extended 
resolution operating mode, 
readings above 1999 are dis-
played with a blinking "1" most 
significant digit. The blinking "1" 
should be interpreted as the digit 
2. The three least significant dig-
its display data normally. 
Automatic; positive implied, neg-
ative indicated 
"1" or "—I" blinks 
The" 
"symbol is displayed 
when the battery voltage drops 
below the operating voltage 
level.
