After the computer is connected, pressing any key ONCE! (while the H-3531 FlashLite™ is in
sleep mode) will cause the H-3531 FlashLite™ to wake up, make a new measurement and print
the following message:

Stage = +/-X.XX
Temp = +/-XX.X

When the ENTER key is pressed after the H-3531 FlashLite™ is awake it will invoke the H-3531
FlashLite™ Simple Menu. You will see a “Measuring...” message displayed as the H-3531
FlashLite™ makes a fresh measurement. Then the H-3531 FlashLite™ will display the Simple
Menu as shown on the following page.

Note: When the P key is pressed after the H-3531 FlashLite™ is awake it will invoke a purge if
the H-355 bubbler is enabled and present.
