indicates there is an overload on the reading. Please press to select a
higher range for measurement again.
Due to environmental magnetic field factors, this magnetic field meter could
display a reading value that is lower than 0.5mG prior to measuring. This is
not a malfunction of the device.
To permanently lock and keep the reading displayed on the LCD, press
or press again to unlock.
To retain the maximum value, press and the reading value displayed on
the LCD will keep updating to the maximum value.
