2 Putting the Meter into Operation
Before using the meter for the first time, perform the following steps:
1 Install the battery pack (see page 38)
2 Connect the power adapter to charge the battery pack
3 Set the current date and time as well as the appropriate display format (see Chapter “Meter
Setup” starting on page 43)
4 Enter the settings of choice (language, quality controls – where necessary, user
administration, etc.)
If the meter has no date/time settings (either because you are powering on the meter for
the first time or because the battery pack was removed from the meter for more than 24
hours), you cannot perform a test. In that case powering on the meter takes you immediately
to the Setup mode, where you must set the date and time.
