lights up in blue. An acoustic confirmation signal is emitted
additionally.
ðThe headphones link up with the device.
ðIf the connection has been established successfully,
there should be audible sounds. Adjust the volume of
the headphones if necessary.
If the connection attempt fails, switch both units off and then
back on in the following order:
• Device
• Headphones
If further connection attempts keep failing, delete the current
device pairing of the headphones at the device and start over in
pairing mode. To do so, please proceed as follows:
üThe device is switched off.

ðPress V+ to increase the volume or V- to reduce it.
ðAn acoustic confirmation signal indicates the maximum
or minimum sound level.
Carrying out a measurement
Info
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can
lead to condensation forming on the device's circuit
board. This physical and unavoidable effect can falsify
the detection result. In this case, the device emits
either no signals or they are incorrect. Wait for a few
minutes until the device has become adjusted to the
changed conditions before using the device.
üThe device is switched on.
üThe volume control at the headphones is set to minimum.
1. Put on the headphones.
2. Hold the measuring tip to the test object.
ðThe sound level is indicated on the LED bar graph(3)
and the sound can be heard through the headphones.
Changing the frequency range
Upon switch-on the device allows for all frequencies.
1. Press the frequency button(6) once to activate high
frequencies.
1x
ðThe LED for high frequencies will be illuminated.
2. Press the frequency button(6) twice to activate low
frequencies.
