6. If the "TMR" mode was selected use the F3, F4 keys to set the duration time of
the test:
ATTENTION
Never disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test when the
message "MEASURING" is being displayed, as the circuit under test may
remain charged at a dangerous voltage. The instrument has an internal
"safety resistor" which is connect to output terminal before the end of the
test in order to discharge the parasite capacities of the installation.
7. Press the START key.
The instrument will start the test.
 MAN Mode: The test will take 4 seconds (maximum). If you keep
the START key pressed longer than 4 seconds the test
continues until the key is released.
 TMR mode: The test will take the time set. If you want to stop
the test when it's running, press the START/STOP key again.
