LOW BATTERY
:
The meter features a battery status monitor, designed to warn the user as well as protect
measurement accuracy from impending battery failure conditions. The battery warning is triggered by
either continuous or temporary low voltage conditions. Visible (a battery icon on the top right side of
the display) and audible (buzzer) indicators accompany a battery warning.
Once a permanent low battery condition is detected, all measurement functions are disabled. Enough
power remains for other menu functions, including a PC download, although almost any user action at
this time causes a low-battery warning to be generated. The battery should be replaced immediately.
If the battery reaches critical levels, the meter will refuse to stay on at power-up.
This gradual warning system is intended to provide the user advanced battery status notice and give
ample time for replacement before operational limitations occur.
NOTE:
Stored readings are not lost during battery replacement or low battery conditions. Current
meter settings are maintained as well.
POWERING UP THE METER:
I.
Press and hold the center (SELECT) button.
II.
The meter switches on and displays the meter name and software version for a couple of
seconds. If the button is released during this time the meter will turn off immediately.
III.
Following the meter name/software version screen, the meter switches the display to the
Main Menu and pre-selects the “PIN MODE” option. Release the SELECT button at any time
now and the meter will remain ON.
NOTE:
Once the power-on cycle is complete, the center button returns to its main function of selecting
the currently highlighted option on the screen.
