OPERATION:

High Voltage Warning (HI-V)

The฀meter฀beeps฀and฀lights฀an฀LED฀when฀measuring฀>฀30V฀AC฀on฀the฀VAC฀function฀and฀>30V฀DC฀

when฀on฀the฀VDC฀function.฀

Notes:฀This฀feature฀does฀not฀work฀in฀the฀Ohm,฀capacitor,฀continuity฀or฀clamp฀modes.฀Audible฀indica-

tion฀can฀be฀disabled฀by฀pressing฀and฀holding฀the฀Max/min฀button฀while฀turning฀the฀function฀switch฀

from฀OFF฀to฀any฀desired฀Function.฀Wait฀for฀Hb฀to฀be฀displayed฀and฀then฀release฀the฀button.฀To฀

enable, turn the unit off and back on.

lock฀a฀measurement฀reading฀on฀the฀display.฀Press฀the฀Hold฀button฀again฀to฀unlock฀the฀display฀and฀

obtain฀a฀real-time฀reading.

Peak Feature

In฀PEAK฀mode,฀the฀meter฀displayed฀the฀PEAK฀value฀of฀AC฀Volts฀or฀Current฀measurement.

PEAK฀function฀is฀enabled฀by฀Depressing฀the฀PEAK฀HOLD฀button฀for฀>฀2฀seconds.

To฀Exit฀PEAK฀Mode฀Depress฀the฀PEAK฀HOLD฀button฀again฀for฀>฀2฀seconds.

Max/Min Feature

The฀Max/Min฀records฀the฀maximum฀฀and฀minimum฀measured฀value.฀Press฀the฀Max/Min฀button฀to฀

activate฀this฀feature฀and฀to฀toggle฀between฀max,฀and฀Min฀readings.฀The฀unit฀will฀continually฀capture฀

max฀and฀min฀values฀over฀time.฀Depressing฀the฀max/min฀button฀for฀>2฀sec.฀exits฀the฀mode.฀Note:฀

To฀record฀max/min฀values฀over฀a฀time฀period฀>30฀min,฀the฀Auto฀Power฀Off฀(APO)฀feature฀must฀be฀

defeated.

Relative Mode

Press฀“∆”฀button฀to฀enter฀the฀Relative฀mode.฀The฀“∆”฀symbol฀is฀displayed,฀and฀the฀value฀on

reading.฀Press฀the฀“∆”฀button฀again฀for฀>฀2฀seconds฀to฀exit฀the฀Relative฀mode.

Zero Feature (61-765, 61-775 models only)

The฀“ZERO”฀button฀is฀used฀to฀zero฀out฀the฀display฀before฀measuring฀DC฀current.฀Press฀the

“ZERO”฀button฀to฀subtract฀out฀the฀non-zero฀number.฀Then,฀measure฀the฀DC฀amps.฀Pressing฀the

“ZERO”฀button฀again฀causes฀the฀“ZERO”฀to฀flash฀and฀the฀original฀offset฀number฀to฀be฀displayed.
