3. PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1. INITIAL CHECKS
Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as a
mechanical point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument
is delivered undamaged. However, we recommend checking it to detect any damage
possibly suffered during transport. In case anomalies are found, immediately contact the
dealer. We also recommend checking that the packaging contains all components
indicated in § 10.4. In case of discrepancy, please contact the Dealer. In case the
instrument should be returned, please follow the instructions given in § 12
3.2. INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY
The instrument is powered by 6x1.5V alkaline batteries of type AA LR06 or 6 x 1.2V NiMH
rechargeable batteries of type AA. The symbol “
” indicates the charge level of the
batteries. For battery replacement, please refer to § 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. A short
pressing of the
key turns on the display’s backlighting. To save battery efficiency,
backlighting automatically turns off after approx. 30 seconds. A frequent use of
backlighting reduces the batteries life.
3.3. STORAGE
The instrument has been designed to be used in the environmental conditions specified in
§ 10.3. The presence of significantly different environmental conditions can compromise
the safety of the instrument and the operator and/or not guarantee precise measurements.
After a long period of storage and/or in extreme environmental conditions, before using,
wait until the conditions inside the instrument should be comparable to the conditions of
the environment in which it is operating.
