Always remove the batteries before
shipping.

Calculating using a constant value

Note
Pressing the “X” and “+” or “X” and “-” buttons
simultaneously increases or, respectively,
decreases the indicated value in increments of
0.100.

When making calculations, use the 

buttons to recall the previously entered constant
value (as the fourth or, respectively, the last
step) and press the appropriate button to make
the desired calculation.

Press the “menu”
button.

Select the CONst

5. Care, transportation and storage

• Blow dust off the lenses.
• Don’t touch the glass with your fingers.
• Use only clean, soft cloths for cleaning. If

necessary, moisten the cloth slightly with
pure alcohol.

Don’t use any other liquids as these
may damage the plastic components.

Observe the temperature limits when
storing your equipment. This is
particularly important in summer if the
equipment is kept inside a motor
vehicle (-30
