5. If the display is difficult to read, press D-H key to hold the measured value. To disable

this function press the D-H key again.

By pressing and holding the MAX/MIN/PK key for at least 1 second, the instrument
enables the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), average (AVG) and peak (PK)
measurement recording mode. All of these values are continually updated even if only one
is shown. Momentary MAX/MIN/PK key strokes will cycle the display through these
recorded values with their corresponding frequencies. To disable this function press and
hold pressed MAX/MIN/PK key at least for 1 second or turn the selector to any position.
