• Press ENTER and the measuring arrangement appears:
The far endings of the tested pair have to be open.
• Select the required measuring range with pressing
the ∆C<10%(F2) or ∆C>10%(F3) key
• Start the measurement with the START/STOP key
Having the measurement started the following display appears after a
few seconds and the bridge is ready for balancing
