Operating Instructions
-User Guide-
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on powering up, using and powering down the meter.
Figure 1. Key pad Layout
NAVIGATION:
The meter uses an on-screen, menu-driven approach to navigate through the meter features, allowing
for an intuitive understanding of keypad functions. Each screen presents the user with a number of
selectable options. One of the options is always selected and the user can move (navigate) the
selection to any other available option. The keypad is aimed at providing navigational control, and not
at accessing specific features. There are four directional keys aligned intuitively around a middle (fifth)
key (see Figure 1): Above (UP), below (DOWN), to the right (RIGHT) and to the left (LEFT). The middle
key is used to SELECT the option highlighted on the screen.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY:
The battery compartment is located on the underside of the case, at the bottom of the handle.
i.
Open the battery compartment by sliding the lid back while pressing on the release indent.
ii.
Ensure correct polarity, and push the battery in flush with the bottom board until the connectors
snap together on both sides.
iii.
Replace the battery compartment lid.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY WITHOUT TURNING THE METER OFF FIRST.
BATTERY
REMOVAL WHILE THE METER IS ON MAY CAUSE LOSS OF STORED READINGS AND MAY CORRUPT THE
STORAGE MEMORY. IF THIS OCCURS, CERTAIN FUNCTIONS (SUCH AS STATISTICS, READING RECALL,
ETC) WILL FAIL AND LOCK UP THE METER. If the battery is removed by accident while the meter is
ON, and if the readings already stored are important, DO NOT store additional re adings. Turn the
meter back on and perform a PC download. Beware that any readings stored during the power cycle
that included the battery removal WILL NOT be available and CANNOT be recovered. Once the
download is complete, perform a meter reset by choosing “RESTORE DEFAULTS” in the Storage Menu.
If a download is not necessary, go directly to “RESTORE DEFAULTS”.
