recorded, the tape should be carefully
rewound onto the reel, the probe wiped
dry and placed into the probe holder.

onto the hub, make sure no wires
are outside the hub.
Notes: 1. Clockwise rotation of sensitivity dial
turns meter on and increases

faceplate of the reel.
2. Using a flat headed screw driver, remove
the three screws on the faceplate.
