2-3-13．NCV measurement；
The operation is as follows: (lower right figure)
- Rotate the dial to the “NCV” position(LCD displays “EF” in the absence of measurement)；
- The instrument has the NCV test point at its front end. As long as the point is close to the AC voltage, the buzzer will emit different continuous sounds according to the signal’s different intensity. At the same time, the LCD will display different segments according to the strength of the signal.
Automatic Startup & Shutdown
When the instrument stops using for about 15 minutes, the meter will
automatically power off to enter the sleep state; to restart the power, dial
to the OFF position, turn the knob to other gears. Hold down the “SELECT”
button, and turn on the power switch at the same time, the screen “APO” symbol
disappears, will cancel the automatic shut down function.
