Make work easier by taking advantage of your multi-purpose bag.
Work safely and without restrictions with both hands free.
The sunlight shield flap allows improved visibility of
the high brightness display.
Secure your meter by connecting it to the
antenna mast or in your car using the practical
ring belt with quick attachment.
If you change the configuration of
the shoulder strap, you can easily carry
the meter vertically by your side.
You can also carry your instrument using its practical handle.
