Press the Mode button until the display reads PROTRACTOR. Place the
tool on a flat surface and collapse until the arms are aligned. Verify that
the display reads 0.0°. If not, press the
reset button. The display will then
read 0.0°. Then, open the arms and you will see the display change from
0° to 360° (Fig. 7).
Pressing the neXt button displays the acute angle, changing the 0-360°
standard protractor to one that reads 0-180-0° (Fig. 8).
Press the neXt button again and the display will show the obtuse angle,
reading from 180-0-180° (Fig. 9).
