3. PREPARATION FOR USE
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. CALIBRATION
The instrument’s technical specifications are those described in this manual. Its
performance is warranted for one year (12 months) from the date of purchase.
3.4. 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 the environmental specifications listed in § 10.5).
