Controls and Connectors 
See Figure 1 for location of controls and connectors. 
1. 
HOLD — 
Holds or "freezes" the measurement 
display. 
2. 
OFFSET -- 
Offsets the Measurement. This subtracts 
the last two digits from subsequent measurements. 
3. 
Vf1-01- (or VO
-
4
1- 
 ) — 
Input for measuring volts, 
ohms, diodes, and continuity. (The 
DMM157 
also 
measures capacitance.) 
4. 
COM — Input for the common (ground reference) 
connection. 
5. 
mA — 
Input for measuring current up to 200 mA. 
6. 
10A — 
Input for measuring current above 200 mA. 
7. 
Rotary Switch — 
Selects the multimeter function: 
volts, ohms, diodes, continuity, or amperes. (The 
DMM157 also measures capacitance.) 
8. 
AC/DC, D/LPfl — 
Selects AC or DC voltage, AC or 
DC current, high- or low-power ohms. 
9. 
RANGE, RESET — 
Press this button to select one 
measurement range. Hold it down for 2 seconds to 
return to auto range. This control will also restore the 
display after automatic power off. 
10. 
Digital 
Display — 
This liquid crystal display (LCD) 
has a maximum reading of 1999 
(33. 
 digit). The 
display indicates auto range, auto polarity, decimal 
point, overrange, AC (DC implied), 0/LPO, 
measurement units, hold, and offset.
