2. If "OL" appears in the display during a measurement, that value
you are measuring exceeds the range you have selected.
Change to higher range.
Note:
On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not
connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing
reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity.
The reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement when
connected to a circuit.
3. Press the "POWER" pushbutton to turn the meter on and off.
4.1. Autoranging / manual range selection

extinguish and the currently selected range will be held.
2. Press the "RANGE" button to step through the available ranges
until you select the range you want.
3. Press and hold the "RANGE" button for 2 seconds to exit the
manual ranging mode and return to "AUTO" mode.

(P 3360) for more than 2 seconds, the "HOLD" indicator will
