3.0 Wireless Functions
The new Wireless button (Fig.11A) on the 2900 Indicator is used for three functions; turn the wireless on/off, sending a
reading, and to change/reset a function in profile mode.
1. You can turn the wireless “DS On” or “DS Off” by pressing and holding the Wireless Radio Button for more than two
seconds. The display will show the current wireless state either “DS On” or “DS Off” (Fig.9A -B). When you release the
button, the new state, either “DS on” or “DS off” will be shown on the display. The tool will display the new state for
two seconds, and then the tool will revert back to the current reading. You can tell that the wireless is on by the
wireless symbol being visible on the bottom left of the display, Fig.11B.
3. If you press and hold the Wireless button, you will go into the functions mode and be able to change between the
three functions. The tool will display either “ On” or “Off” and then the current function. If you continue to hold the
Wireless button, and then press the In/mm button, the tool will cycle through the functions one at a time. When the
desired function is displayed release the Wireless button to select the function.
