9. Backlight Control :

     After startup, press “       ” button to turn on or off backlight. The
backlight  function  is  suitable  to  dark  spot,  power  consumption  of 
backlight  is  about  25mA.  It  will  default  backlight  turn-off  for  each 
startup.

10. Alarm Settings :

     After startup, rotate                     rotary switch to select function,
press  “        ”  button  for  a  brief  time  to  open  or  shut  off  alarm 
function, press “      ” button for a long time (about 3 seconds) to 
enter alarm critical value settings, press “     ” or “     ” to change 
current digital, press “      ” button to move cursor and then press 
“       ” button to store and exit. When measurement value is larger 
than alarm critical settings value and it has opened alarm function, 
the tester will flash and display “       ” icon and give out “toot-toot-
toot--” alarming sound.

11. Data Lock / Storage :

      In  test  mode,  press  “            ”  button  for  a  brief  time  to  lock 
current  displayed  data,  showing  “          ”,  “        ”  icon  and 
automatically store with serial numbers. If storage is full, the tester 
will display “          ” icon, and then press button to remove lock.

     Notice :

 Operating  data  deletion  will delete  all the stored data

one-time, and unable to be restored. Please careful operation.

13. Data Upload :

          The  stored  data  can  be  uploaded  to  computer.  Make  good
connection  of  computer  with  RS232  communication  wire  of  the 
tester, switch on the tester and run monitoring software,  and if  the 
software  displays  that  interface  is  open  and  the  connection  is 
successful,  then  it  can  read  the  stored  historical  data,  upload  to 
company and preserve.

          Monitoring  software  has  the  function  of  online  real-time 
monitoring and historical inquiry, dynamic display, with alarm value 
settings  and  alarm  indicator,  and  the  function  of  historical  data 
access, reading, preserve, print and other functions.
