Chapter 2 Measurement Preparations
2.1 Attaching the Strap
By attached the strap, the instrument can be used hung from the operator’s neck. Attach the strap
as described below.
Attach four ends of the strap securely to the instrument. If insecurely attached, the
instrument may fall and be damaged or result in injury when carrying.
1. Turn off the power to the instrument and remove the test lead.
2. Run the strap through the two attachments on either side of the
instrument and fasten it in place with the buckles.
3. Adjust the length of the strap.
2.2 Installing or Replacing the Batteries
When using the instrument for the first time, insert 8 AA batteries. Before attempting measurement,
check to make sure enough battery charge remains. When the battery charge gets low, replace the
batteries.
To avoid electric chock, turn off the power and disconnect the test lead before
replacing the batteries. After replacing the batteries, replace the cover before
using the instrument.
Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Also, be
careful to observe battery polarity during installation. Otherwise, poor
performance or damage from battery leakage could result.
To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not short circuit, disassemble or
incinerate batteries.
Handle and dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
The indicator flashes when battery voltage (V) becomes low. Replace the new batteries
soon.
The instrument can be placed in the portable
case even with the strap attached.
