Getting Acquainted
Turning the Meter On
To turn the Meter on, turn the rotary switch from OFF
to any switch setting.
Battery Considerations
The Meter uses one 9V Battery (NEDA 1604, 6F22,
006P). The following paragraphs describe several
techniques used to conserve battery power.
Automatic Power Off
The display blanks and the Meter goes into a "sleep"
mode if you have not changed the rotary switch position
or pressed a button for a set period. While in Sleep
mode, pressing the blue button or turning the rotary
switch could turn the Meter on. The Meter then returns
to the display for the function selected with the rotary
switch; all previously activated button features are
discarded.
Automatic Backlight Off
Press
LIGHT
button to turn the backlight on and press

to exit the feature.
Press
LIGHT
to select the backlight level (low or high).
In Setup menu (see Chapter 5), you could specify a
time to automatically turn off the backlight (10 seconds,
20 seconds, 30 seconds or OFF). If the period is set
to OFF, the backlight feature is disabled.
The automatic power off is preset to 10 minutes. From
the Setup menu (see Chapter 5), you could specify a
time (10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes or OFF). If
you set to OFF, the Meter retains on until you turn the
rotary switch to OFF or the battery becomes too weak.
