the display at the current reading. “HOLD” will

appear on the display.

pear on the display.
ALL OPERATION DIFFICULTIES
If this meter does not function properly for any
reason, replace the batteries with new, high quality
batteries (see the “Battery Replacement” section).
Low battery power can occasionally cause any
number of “apparent” operational difculties.
Replacing the batteries with new fresh batteries will
solve most difculties.
