Peak Button
This measurement function is used to measure the peak value of
a signal. It is useable with AC current measurements. To use this
function, select the function and range and press the peak hold
switch. When this is done, the "P" will appear in the display. Next,
by inputting a signal, the peak hold function operates. This peak
hold value is held in digital memory for a long period. To cancel
the function press the peak hold switch once again.

6. How to make measurements
Before making any measurements read safety precautions.
Always examine the instrument and accessories used with the
instrument for damage, contamination (excessive dirt, grease, etc)
and defects. Examine the test leads for cracked or frayed
insulation and make sure the lead plugs fit snugly into the
instrument terminals. If any abnormal conditions exist, do not
attempt to make any measurements.
6.1. Voltage measurements
1. Turn off power to the device under test and discharge all
capacitors.
2. Select the desired AC voltage range or DC voltage range by
pressing the MODE-button.
3. Plug the black test lead into the COM input jack on the meter
and connect the test lead tip to a grounded point (the
reference point for measurement of voltage).
