Detection

mode

NOTE

•

The range mode used at the last power off is retained.

•

If there is an abnormality in the built-in clock, a fault alarm FAIL CLOCK may be triggered. In this

case, contact RIKEN KEIKI immediately.

WARNING

•

If the main unit is dropped or given a shock, the reading may rise and it may remain so. In

such a case, perform air calibration in a place where the surrounding air is fresh.
