2.2 POWERING UP THE MULTIMETER

The switch is set to OFF. Turn the switch to the function of your choice. All segments of the display unit light for a few seconds (see figure 2, § 1.1) the screen corresponding to the chosen function then appears. The multimeter is now ready for measurements.

2.3 POWERING DOWN THE MULTIMETER

The multimeter can be switched off manually, by setting the switch to OFF, it will also switch itself off automatically if left unused for 15 minutes. At the 14th minute, 5 beeps warn that the multimeter is about to be switched off. To reactivate the instrument, press any key on the keypad.

Note: the OFF position does not completely switch off the multimeter; it remains active for contact-free detection of the presence of the network voltage (NCV).

2.4 THE PROP

The prop can be placed in either of two positions according to how it is to be used: to suspend the multimeter from a hook (position 1) or to stand it in an inclined position on a support (position 2). To change the position of the prop, proceed as follows:

Position 1 : raise the stand
