3.1. INITIAL CHECKS

Before shipment, the instrument’s electronics and mechanics have been carefully checked.

All possible precautions have been taken to have the instrument delivered under optimal

conditions. However, we recommend to rapidly check the instrument in order to detect

possible damage occurred during transport. Should you detect anomalies, please

immediately contact the dealer.

It is also recommended to check that the package contains all parts indicated in § 10.6. In

case of discrepancies, please contact the dealer. Should it be necessary to return the

instrument, please follow the instructions given in § 12.

3.2. INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY

The instrument is battery supplied. For battery type and life, see § 10.4.

The symbol “ ” indicates the charge level. When there are five bars next to the battery

symbol, it means that batteries are fully charged; a decrease in the number of bars down

to “ ” indicates that the batteries are almost low. In this case, interrupt tests and

replace the batteries according to the indications given in § 9.2.

The instrument is capable of keeping data stored even without batteries.

The instrument is provided with advanced algorithms to maximize the batteries’ life.

During instrument operation, a further short pressing of the key turns on the display’s

backlighting (if battery voltage level is high enough). In order to save battery efficiency,

backlighting automatically turns off after approx. 30 seconds.

A frequent use of back lighting reduces the batteries’ life

3.3. STORAGE

In order to guarantee precise measurements, after a long period of the instrument’s

storage under extreme environmental conditions, wait until it recovers its normal conditions

(see § 10.5).
