Putting the Meter into Operation
Before using the meter for the first time, carry out the following steps:
1 Connect the handheld power supply
2 If present, insert the handheld battery pack for recharging (see page 19)
3 Set the current date and time as well as the appropriate display format (see chapter “Meter
Setup” starting on page 23)
4 Enter the settings of choice (language, quality controls – where necessary, user
administration, etc.)
Note: If you switch on the meter for the first time, or the meter has been without power for
more than 10 minutes, you must set the date and time. In this case the meter takes you
directly to the Setup mode, where you set date and time.
See “Setting the Date” on page 33 and “Setting the Time” on page 35.
Once you finished these settings, the meter atomatically displays the Main Menu. Here you
can continue with the meter setup or start a test.
