Connector for external power supply
Connecting the connector cable PC-18 (sold separately) to the connector for
external power supply will enable the use of the LS-B100 from an external
power supply. When the instrument is operated with the external power supply,
the power-save and the auto-cut off functions will be invalidated. The LS-B100
will turn on when connection is made to external power supply. The power
switch of the instrument will not function when an external power supply is
used.
It is possible to change the detective precision of the
instrument.
Please select Mode 1 to 4 according to the objective of the
operation.
Pressing the detective precision (Mode) switch will change
the mode and the corresponding LED lamp will light up.
(During battery remaining display shown below, the lamp
will flash.)
Battery remaining for the LS-B100 will be displayed at 3 levels.
* When turning the power on by pressing the power switch for more than
5 seconds, the power-save and the auto-cut off functions may be inval-
idated.
