3.  With Password enabled, should GO/STOP key be pressed during a recording, the 

meter will not stop the operation but will require the user to insert password as shown 
in the below screen: 

 

 

Fig. 13: Insert Password screen 

4.  The fixed password (not changeable by user) to insert on meter within 10s from 

warning message is the below sequence of keys: 

 

F1, F4, F3, F2 

 

5.  If a wrong password is fitted or if more of 10s elapse, the meter will give the warning 

message “Wrong Password” and it’s necessary to repeat the operation. As soon as the 
correct password is fitted, the meter will stop immediately the recording running and the 
correspondent icon at display (see  

6. Press SAVE or ENTER  keys (or the smart icon 

) to save the selected option and 

confirm by “Ok”. This selected parameter will be present also after turning off the meter. 

7. Pressing ESC key (or the smart icon  ) to quit without saving any modification. 
 
5.1.5.  Sound keys setting 
The meter permits to enable a instantaneous sound for any key pressure of the frontal 
panel. 

 

1.  Move the cursor using arrows keys on field relative to “Sound”, marked with blue 

background, see  

 

Fig. 14: Keys sound settings screen 

2. Use F3 or F4 keys (alternatively touch MOD(+) o MOD(-)) to enable “YES” or disable 

“NO” of keys sound. 

3. Pressing SAVE or ENTER keys (or the smart icon 

) to save the selected option and 

confirm by “Ok”. This selected parameter will be present also after turning off the meter. 

4. Press ESC key (or the smart icon  ) to quit without saving any modification.
