must be pressed for at least two seconds when switching on.

3.2 GPS receiver function*
GPS = Global Position System; used for position-fixing
The GPS module installed as standard receives satellite signals in the open air. Reception is
only available to a limited extent under coverings and in enclosed rooms. The satellite signals
are received by the GPS module to fix the current position. Depending on the satellite signal
strength, the device requires between 30 and 120 seconds to display the location coordinates
on its display. The location coordinates are now displayed in place of the name Zorn
Instruments.
If no satellite signals can be received (e.g. due to enclosed rooms) measurement and saving
can also be carried out without position-fixing.
3.3 Text input function
Via the text input function, it is possible to add text to a measure. The user can insert text at
the beginning of a measurement. By default, the text input function is disabled (to enable the
function, see chapter 4.4 Settings).
When the device and text input function is activated, press <OK> to start a measurement.

characters possible)
<Mode> Deletes the last character of the text string
