Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical point of
view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument is delivered undamaged.
However, we recommend checking it to detect any damage possibly suffered during transport. In
case anomalies are found, immediately contact the Dealer.
We also recommend checking that the packaging contains all components indicated in § 10.7 . In
case of discrepancy, please contact the Dealer. In case the instrument should be returned, please
follow the instructions given in § 12.
3.2. INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY
The instrument is battery supplied. For battery type and life, see § 10.5.
The symbol “ ” indicates a full charge level of the internal batteries. When battery charge
decreases to a minimum level, the symbol “ ” appears on the display. In this case, stop testing
and replace the batteries according to the indications given in § 9.2.
The instrument is capable of keeping data stored even without batteries.
The instrument is provided with advanced algorithms to maximize the batteries’ life.
During instrument operation, a short pressing of the
key turns on the display’s backlighting. In
order to save battery efficiency, backlighting automatically turns off after approx. 30 seconds.
A frequent use of backlighting reduces the batteries’ life.
