Initial Display
Press the yellow ESC key until the initial display appears in order to switch the memory
adapter
OFF
(see above). Then press and hold the ON/OFF key for more than 1 second.
The memory adapter switches itself off
automatically
after a period of 10 minutes (except for
the time display) if none of its keys have been activated, and if no data have been recorded.
However, the memory adapter is not switched off automatically in the PC, STORE and
ONLINE operating modes. If no signals are received at the memory adapter from the PC or
from the multimeter for a period of approximately 17 seconds, the memory adapter is
switched to the “battery saving” mode.

Replacing the Batteries
The memory adapter is equipped with two 1.5 V mignon cells in accordance with IEC R 6.
In order to replace the batteries, loosen the two screws at the memory adapter’s housing
base. The batteries are in a holder close to the middle of the printed circuit board.
Remove both depleted batteries and install two 1.5 V mignon cells. The plus and minus
poles of the batteries must correspond to the symbols at the battery holder.
Replace the housing base and retighten the two screws.
Attention:
Connect the memory adapter to a PC and start METRAwin 10 software in
order to prevent data loss from the memory adapter during battery replacement. In
this way, the memory adapter is supplied with power from the RS232 interface
during battery replacement.
