Initial Start-Up
3.1
Inserting Batteries or Rechargeable Batteries
Be certain to refer to section 10.2 regarding correct battery
installation.
Momentary battery voltage can be queried in the Info menu (see
section 7.3).
Attention!
!
Disconnect the instrument from the measuring circuit before
opening the battery compartment lid in order to replace the
batteries.
Operation With Power Pack
(accessory, not included, see section 11.3)
Installed batteries are disconnected electronically if the power
pack is used, and need not be removed from the
instrument. If rechargeable batteries are used, they must be
recharged externally. If the external power supply is switched off,
the device is switched to battery operation without interruption.
3.2
Switching the Instrument On
Switching the Instrument On Manually
Ð
Press the
ON / OFF | LIGHT
key until the display appears.
Power-up is acknowledged with a brief acoustic signal. As
long as the key is held depressed, all of the segments at the
liquid crystal display (LCD) are illuminated.
The LCD is depicted on page 13.
The instrument is ready for use as soon as the key is released.
Display Illumination
After the instrument has been switched on, background
illumination can be activated by briefly pressing the
ON / OFF | LIGHT
key. Illumination is switched back off by once
again pressing the same key, or automatically after approximately
1 minute.
Switching the Instrument On with a PC
The multimeter is switched on after transmission of a data block
from the PC, assuming that the “
irStb
” parameter has been set to
“
ir on
” (see section 7.4).
However, we recommend using the power saving mode “
ir off
”.
Note
Electrical discharge and high frequency interference may
cause incorrect displays to appear, and may disable the
measuring or calibrating sequence.
Disconnect the device from the measuring circuit.
Switch the
instrument off and back on again in order to reset. If the
problem persists, briefly dislodge the battery from the
connector contacts (see also section 10.2).
