No beep voltcraft VC 870

(1/1)

tomcourtney:
Bought the vc 870 some years ago with a view I would learn how to use it. Looked for some online training YouTube etc but seem to have a problem.
There is no beep on continuity or elsewhere and the laser temp unit is reading everything between 500 and 80 deg C. All else seems ok.
User manual assumes you know what you are doing.... is there a setting to change? Is there a menu system and if so how do you scroll it? Could it be the 500ma fuse
Or is it knackered?
Sorry I'm a complete idiot where electrics is concerned but I need to learn the basics as I have a boat.

JFJ:
After setting the meter's selector switch to Ω, does pressing the 'Select' button bring up the continuity bleeper symbol on the display?

If so, but there's no sound when the probes are shorted together, does your meter produce any sounds in other modes? For example, there should be an audible alarm if a test lead is plugged into one the current measurement sockets (10A or mAµA) while the selector switch is set for a voltage measurement.
