Charge terminal alert test

This test determines if the charge terminal alert is operating

properly.

The meter sounds an alert when the terminal

detects a voltage level of more than 5 V and the rotary

switch is not set to the position. The meter sounds

an alert beep and the primary display flashes the “Ch.Err”

until the lead is removed from the terminal.

NOTE

Before conducting this test, make sure the beep function is not disabled at

setup.
