Using MicroSet
——————————————————————————————————————
The following instructions document the operations of the MicroSet timer in greater
detail. We strongly encourage you to read these descriptions to learn the details of
each function.
The keypad
In general, you use the MODE button to select the various functions of MicroSet. If you
press the MODE button over and over, MicroSet will cycle through the functions that
are available in your timer. If you go past the function you want, keep pressing MODE
and you’ll come back to it.
When the mode you want is displayed on the LCD screen, press the BEGIN button to
enter that mode. After you enter a mode you can usually press the MODE button again
to get out of it.
The PLUS and MINUS keys are used to enter numbers and make other choices. One
press will advance the count by one. If you hold down the PLUS or MINUS buttons they
will “repeat” after a short while and make entries very quickly. In places where there are
“Yes/No” questions, use PLUS for “Yes” and MINUS for “No”.
A flow chart of the MicroSet functions can be found on the back cover of this instruction
book.
Power source
MicroSet will operate on a 9 volt battery or an AC wall adaptor. The battery is contained
inside a door on the bottom of the unit. The AC adaptor plugs into a jack on the top end.
AC operation is recommended when you have easy access to it. You can leave the
battery in when the unit is plugged in to the AC adaptor and, if the AC goes off, MicroSet
will keep running on the battery. If you lose your AC adaptor you can use any one that
provides 7 to 15 volts DC at 1000 milliamps. The plug is a 2.1 mm coaxial barrel plug,
with center positive polarity.
Turning it on
The round knob in the center of the keypad is the power switch and sensitivity control.
Turn it clockwise to turn it on. MicroSet should beep twice to indicate it is waking up. It
will then display “
MicroSet Watch Timer
on the LCD screen. If this does not happen as
expected (or any time you want to re-initialize MicroSet) press the red RESET button.
