3. Before Starting Source/Measurement
NOTE
• Before disconnecting the AC adapter from an AC power source,
turn off the calibrator by pressing the
key.
• When operating the calibrator on batteries, disconnect the AC adapter
plug from the instrument.
Once you connect the AC adapter plug to the instrument, the instrument no
longer operates on batteries.
Thus, the instrument will not turn on unless the AC adapter is connected
to an AC power source.
• Be sure to turn off the POWER switch when you finish using the instrument.
Turning On/Off MEASURE Mode
Pressing the
key after power-on turns off the MEASURE
mode.
• If the MEASURE mode is not needed and therefore turned off,
power to the measurement circuit is also turned off within
the calibrator.
Thus, you can save on battery power if the calibrator is running on
batteries.
• Turning off the MEASURE mode causes the on-screen measured
value to disappear.
• To resume measurement when the MEASURE mode is off,
press the
key once again.
TIP
One to two seconds are taken for the LCD to turn on after the MEASURE
mode is turned on.
