SETUP
1. Choose the power source.
Before using the DAF4207SD, make sure it is powered
by fresh batteries or an optional 9VDC AC adapter plugged into the bottom jack on
its right side (callout 1-12).
To remove the battery compartment cover (callout 1-13), remove the two screws
holding it in place (callout 1-14). Then install six “AA” batteries in the correct
orientation, using the polarity marks on the inside of the compartment as a guide.
Replace the cover by replacing the two screws.
2. Install an SD card.
To prepare for setup, also install the supplied 2 GB SD memory
card or another card of 1 GB to 16 GB capacity in the socket on the bottom of the
instrument (callout 1-9). When installing the card, make sure its gold contacts are
facing front and push the card into the socket until you hear a click. To remove the
card, push it in until you hear a click and the card pops out.
Now power on the instrument by pressing the POWER/ESC button (callout 1-2) to
generate a short beep. (To power off the DAF4207SD, press the POWER/ESC button
and hold it until the instrument responds with a long beep.)
When the instrument powers on, a series of transient startup screens will briefly
appear. Once the display has stabilized, perform the following eight setup steps in the
order presented.
3. Set the date and time.
Press the SET
▼
button (callout 1-5) and hold it for at
least five seconds, until the word “dAtE” appears in the center of the display, along
with the flashing value “00.00.00” at the lower left, above “yy.mm.dd”.
Set the current year by pressing the SET
▼
or LOGGER
▲
button repeatedly until the
correct value appears above “yy”. Quickly (within three seconds), press the
REC/ENTER button to store the setting. The next screen that appears will have the
value above “mm” flashing. Use the SET
▼
or LOGGER
▲
button to navigate to the
current month and press the REC/ENTER button to store the setting. When the next
screen flashes the value above “dd”, again use the SET
▼
or LOGGER
▲
button to
navigate to the current day and press the REC/ENTER button to store the setting.
(If you press buttons too slowly in setup mode, the screen will revert to the normal
display. To return to the setup sequence, press and hold the SET
▼
button again. To
move ahead to the next field in the sequence or to the next parameter, press the
FUNC./HOLD/NEXT button.)
Once you have set the date, the display will prompt you to set the hour, minute and
second of the current time. Again use the SET
▼
or LOGGER
▲
buttons to navigate
to the correct values, and the REC/ENTER button to store the settings.
