The basic system consists of the measuring
instrument, standards for calibration and testing, the
sample area locator, and the instrument case.
You should calibrate the instrument before starting
to measure. The standards are provided for this
purpose. Be sure to always set the instrument on
the standard in the same direction. Always keep the
standards clean, or clean them before using them.
When the measuring instrument is not in use, it is
best to store it in the instrument case. The case is
also the ideal place to store the accessories
provided with the instrument.
The simplest way to operate the instrument is to
grasp it from the side on which the battery
compartment is located. The thumb and last three
fingers slide into the depressions on the side of the
instrument. The index finger rests on the top of the
instrument, where it can operate the cursor buttons
and the Operate button (Fig. 3).
When measurements are performed with the
automatic trigger, you can hold the instrument in
any desired manner. In this case, you can start the
measuring operation merely by applying even
pressure to the instrument from above (Fig. 4).
