Connecting the Z3210 Wireless Adapter (Option)

2.3 Connecting the Z3210 Wireless

Adapter (Option)

The wireless communications function can be used by connecting

the Z3210 Wireless Adapter (option) to the instrument.

See “3.8 Wireless Communications Function (GENNECT Cross)”

(p. 63).

WARNING

•

To avoid electric shock, turn off the instrument and

disconnect the measurement cables or test leads

before replacing batteries.

•

After connecting the Z3210, reattach the cover,

screws, and put on the protector before using the

instrument.

•

To prevent instrument damage or an electric shock,

use only the screws that are originally installed for

securing the battery cover in place. If you have lost

any screws or find that any screws are damaged,

please contact your authorized Hioki distributor or

reseller.
