3.3 Battery change display
If an empty battery symbol appears in the display when
the instrument is switched on or if this symbol
appears during a measuring operation, it means that new
batteries must be inserted. However, it is still possible to
use the instrument briefly.
The battery status can also be viewed from the menu.

4.3 Temperature unit (only for optional accessories / tem-
perature senor) The temperature unit can be measured in
°Celsius or °Fahrenheit. The desired unit can be selected
under this menu option.
4.4 Auto-Hold
This instrument is set for continuous measurement. This
means that a measurement is conducted continually.
However, if the value of a measurement e.g. at a diffi-
,
cult to access area should only take place once and then
be illustrated continuously on the display, then the func-
tion Auto-Hold can be activated under this menu option.
The OK key must be actuated in this mode of operation
in order to conduct a measurement. If a green LED illu-
minates it confirms that the measured value is going to
be illustrated continuously on the display. If another mea-
surement is conducted and the OK key is actuated, the
last value will disappear automatically.
4.5 Start setting
The material type that is to be selected when the instru-
ment is switched on is specified under the menu option
Start setting
Universal
means that the instrument will always
be set to the material type 'universal' when it is switched
on.
Last setting
means that the instrument "notes" the
material type last used.
4.6 Display

ting), the measured value can also be displayed in a bar
chart format. The bar chart display enables a quicker
evaluation of the measurement results.

ting conditions it is possible to change the display from
