Charlie,
The "Error Ur" is an under-range error; you have to apply an input above 10% of the range before it will display a reading. The 4920's are a very nice instrument. Their only problem is that they are all so old that they are reaching the stage where some components are drifting excessively or failing. I have come across 4920's that are drifting a little (more than there spec) between cals (and yes they need to be cal'd annually), another 4920 I came across had an intermittent failure in one of its power supplies.

It has an error message: "Error Ur" so some fixing is going to be needed. On the back it says it's got Option 80, whatever that is.
