Install the batteries, or plug in a computer / external power pack via
the micro USB connector, marked “DC-PWR-IN”. The large USB

The instrument’s optical connector is protected by a dust cover which
also serves as a tilt bail. To access the optical connector, grasp the
grey cover on the top of the instrument and tilt it back. Push the cover

Push-on style connectors:
To remove a connector adaptor, gently press and hold down the
release button on the front of the instrument, while pulling off the
adaptor. It is easier to pull off the adaptor with a test lead in place,

facing a locating slot on the side of the adaptor (SC end). This will
allow you to align the locating slot with that on the instrument SC
connector, and then press it in.
