12 Chapter 2 Operating Information
Applying Power
To turn on the multimeter, depress the front panel Power switch. If the
multimeter does not appear to turn on, verify that the multimeter is connected
to line power. If line power is not the problem, remove the power cord and
check the line power fuse and the line voltage selection switch settings.
Power-On Self-Test When power is applied, the multimeter performs a limited power-on self-test.
This test verifies that the multimeter is operating but does not necessarily
verify that measurements will be accurate.
Power-On State When the power-on self-test is finished, the multimeter beeps once,
automatically triggers, automatically selects the range, and performs DC
voltage measurements. Also, the multimeter has set many of its commands
to predefined power-on values as shown in Table 2, This is called the
power-on state.
