Snapon Auto-Range Multimeter - Question

Hello, I received a new EEDM525E Snapon multimeter today in the mail. Though this is a auto-range meter, it does have a manual range feature. My question is, If I were to set this meter in Manual Range Mode, then measured beyond the manual range that it was set to--if the meter OL'd/attempted to read out of range in manual mode, would this scenario potentially damage the meter? I can't find anything in the instruction booklet mentioning anything about it.

Thanks for help in advance.

The purpose of manual ranging is to get a better resolution at different ranges, wouldn't affect the extremely high internal resistance which protects the meter. Manual ranging will just give you the reading faster with the desired decimal place if you're always in the same range.
