Ok, been using this for some time and I've got things to tell you:
To silence the beeps when pushing buttons, one can hold
Hz button while powering on via rotary selector. When the meter enters auto power off, one can wake it up by pressing any button, not just the
select button like the manual says. But surprise-surprise, the beep is now ON, so I'm forced to rotate the selector to OFF, then desired range again while holding
Hz (the usual way).
Now I accidentally found that if you wake it up from auto power off by HOLDING the Hz button, meter says "dsbld" or whatever it usually says (e.g. disabled beep) and beep is still OFF.
Hope it helps some people. Funny fact: I was so happy I found this out and my sleeping GF won't be bothered by the beeps that I reverse mounted an electrolytic cap (100uF, 50V connected to 27V). It was like 1:00 AM and I was troubleshooting some analog stuff
. 40 seconds later I smelled something heating up and glanced at my
MAVO35 just to see it at 10mA and then violently shoot to full scale(100mA)
. I touched my 2 ICs but thy were ok, then I spotted the cap bulging in my face. I mean like 20cm away. First thing that went through my head was UNPLUG THE SCOPE, I JUST BOUGHT IT!!!
Don't look for any logic in that, it's not like it will ever get electrically damaged by a bursting cap
. I managed to unplug it and just started turning my head away when it exploded in (almost) my face. I'm totally fine, thank you. %-B
The moral is: leave the beep on, it saves you from caps exploding in your face.
