4.  Operation  

Measuring  unit  of  ISOMET  2114 

is  equipped  with  color  3.5″  TFT  LCD  display,  alpha-numeric 

keyboard, USB and RS232 communication ports, which ensure its simple operation.    
 
Switching  on  and  switching  off  the  device  is  done  by  pressing  the  red  Power  key  for  approx.  3 
seconds. Pressing the Power key for shorter time toggles the display backlight only.  The measuring 
unit  should  be  switched  on  with  disconnected  battery  charger,  USB  connection  and  with  connected 
measurement  probe.  When  the  instrument  is  switched  on,  display  backlight  turns  on  and  after 
initializing  procedures  and  loading  parameters  from  connected  probes,  the  Stand  By  page  appears 
on the display.   

Stand By page like all other pages is divided into 3 zones:
