When the instrument is powered on, all the LCD tags will be visible for several seconds before the auto-diagnostic tests run.
This process will take several seconds, during this time the progress will be displayed on the screen. Once these tests are completed
the main screen will be displayed.
These tests ensure that the meter is working properly. If any errors occur a warning message will be displayed.
If there are no methods installed, "No Method Loaded" message is displayed.
5.2. POWER AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT
The meter can be powered from an
AC/DC
power adapter or from the rechargeable battery.
To conserve power, the auto off option can be enabled in the setup menu, see page 21 for more information. If this option is
enabled, the instrument will automatically turn off after a defined period of time if no interaction has occurred.
