3. Getting started
This section describes the basic layout of the instrument, the navigation controls and the screen layout that is common
to all measurements. It is strongly recommended the user familiarizes themselves with the full user guide, as there is a
great deal of information on how the measurement works as well as how to get the most from your instrument.
3.1 Quick start (for those in a hurry)
To get going quickly here is a summary of controls and tests.
 Ensure a battery has been fully charged.
 Turn the instrument on by rotating the left rotary knob to the main test mode required. The display will also

 Alternatively, the right range knob can be used to scroll through options very quickly, displaying the options in
an arc similar to the left range knob. Press the required Hot key first then turn the right hand knob.
