Choose Your Language

In the MENU, select the “LANGUAGE” option.  Use the ARROW buttons to select LANGUAGE, then press the POWER button.  Use the 
ARROW buttons to scroll through the available languages.  Press the POWER button when your desired language appears. Save your 
changes and exit. 

Once the meter’s language is changed, the menu will immediately change to the language selected.  If you choose the wrong 

language and can’t get back to your desired language, stop navigating the menu and allow the meter to automatically power down.  The meter 
will automatically shut off after 1 to 2 minutes of inactivity.  When the meter powers back up, it will display the previously selected language.  

The following languages are available in the GC3200:   English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Swedish and Danish.

ENGLISH

GERMAN

             SPANISH

                       FRENCH

ITALIAN

DUTCH

               DANISH

                      SWEDISH        

Backlight Setting

If you want to conserve the life of the battery you can choose to turn the back-lighting of the display off.  If you choose NORMAL, the back-light 
will stay on during measurements and also while the measurement results are displayed on the screen.  The back-light will stay on through one 
rotation of the measurement results.   When the results begin repeating, the back-light will turn off, unless you press the ARROW buttons to 
move the results screens forward or backward.  Any ARROW button press will cause the back-light to turn back on.   Please note that during 
the actual measurement, we turn off the back-light until the measurement results are obtained.   This helps to extend the life of the battery.  

Stored Data

The GC3200 will automatically save the most recent 30 measurements.  The stored data will continually update after every measurement.  To 
retrieve a recent measurement, enter the MENU system and select STORED DATA.  Your most recent measurement will be at the top of the 
list under the heading “MOST RECENT DATA”.  As you move down the list, the measurements move from most recent to least recent.  
Therefore the oldest measurement in your list will be in entry #1.  Select the measurement you would like to retrieve.  Once you select the data 
point, the measurement results will appear, just as they did when you completed the measurement.   The screens will automatically advance 
from one result screen to the next, just as they did when you completed the measurement.   The ARROW keys will also allow you to advance 
or return as they do in normal measurements.   After you are finished reviewing the information, press the POWER button to return back to the 
STORED DATA MENU.  You can select another measurement or EXIT.  The EXIT selection is at the bottom of the list.  You can get to the EXIT 
by traveling down the measurement tree, or by moving to the top of the list and rolling over to the bottom of the list.  Also at the bottom of the 
list are options to DELETE INDIVIDUAL data point, or DELETE ALL data points.  When you turn off the meter, the data is still stored in its 
nonvolatile memory.  Note that you can not permanently store the measurements in the meter.  Each time you take a measurement, the oldest 
data point will be deleted.
