I just looked over and saw the display was on. I'm probably going to need a new battery soon.

At least it can't burn the house down. I left my soldering iron on for 3 days once, and I was lucky to still have a house.

DMM = digital multimeter

I had a feeling this might confuse people, even in the DIY forum :lol:

Why doesn't everything turn itself off after a while?!
