(+) extended pressing during start-up: makes the LED arc show rmware version
(+) releasing press during start-up: makes the LED arc briey display batter status and the
active operating frequency with one of the three right most LEDs.
(+) and (-) short presses: gain setting up or down, 5 or 7 steps available depending on
connected probe. A beep sound indicates change of gain, no beep means that maximum or
minimum has been reached.
(-) long press: Initiate change of receiving frequency mode:
1) Keep (-) pressed until a beep is heard
2) Keep (+) pressed until another beep is heard
3) See the LED arc 512/10k/33k LEDS briey display the chosen frequency
4) Release both buttons
5) If necessary repeat 1 to 4 to get the right frequency. Connected probe allows choosing
only frequencies supported by the probe. The three rightmost LEDs briey display the active
operating frequency also when a probe is connected.
