in
order to prolong battery life. The meter will switch off
automatically
if none of the buttons are pressed within approx.
10 min.
To disable this feature, Select the memory
record function during measurement, by pressing
the "
Max./Min. " button ( 3-4, Fig. 1).
6. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument features an RS232 output via 3.5 mm
Terminal ( 3-13, Fig. 1).
The connector output is a 16 digit data stream which
can be utilized to the user's specific applica tion.
An RS232 lead with the following connection will
be required to link the instrument with the PC
serial input.

7. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1) When the left corner of LCD display show " ",
It is necessary to replace the battery. However, within
specification measurement may still be made for several
hours after low battery indicator appears before the
instrument become inaccurate.
2) Slide the Battery Cover ( 3-11, Fig. 1) away from the
instrument and remove the battery.
3) Install a 9 V battery ( heavy duty ) and replace thecover.
