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.
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.
Automatic Backlight Off
Press LIGHT button to turn the backlight on and press LIGHT again to turn it off.
Press EXIT 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.
Low Battery Indication
A constant battery icon ( ) in the upper left corner of the display notifies you that the
batteries are low and should be replaced.
Warning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the battery as soon as the battery icon ( ) appears.
