the low and high limits of the instrument
to
reflect the range of actual conditions the unit will
experience. In all modes except Time and
Compass, press and hold the
Set/EL
key until
the current unit of measure is flashing. Press
the
Mode
key to see the “Low Limit” of measure
the instrument will graph. Press the

increase the value of the “Low Limit.” Holding
down the

key will cause the increase to
take place much faster. If you go past the value
you desire, continue to increase the value until it
scrolls around back to the number you need.
When you have reached the value you need,
press the
Mode
key and you will then be able to
set the “High Limit” that the instrument will graph
in exactly the same way. When you have
reached the value you need, press the
Mode
key again and screen will go back to the current
unit of measure flashing. Press the
Set/EL

to save and exit. Changing the “Low Limit” and

or have any impact on the data yet to be
recorded.
