simulta-
neously. Meter is in calibration if it displays “12” (± 0.2)
If you check the calibration and the display does not read
“12,” it is likely an indication of a low battery. If this occurs,
replace the battery with a new one immediately. Continued use
with a low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibra-
tion. If you have a fresh battery and the instrument still does
not indicate an acceptable calibration, return it to
DELMHORST for service. See
Service for Your Meter section.
A hard Reset is required if, after changing the battery, the dis-
play is frozen. This is sometimes caused by the interruption of
contact between the battery and battery lead wire. Resolve this
as follows:
Disconnect the battery. Press and hold the Read key for 15 sec-
onds. Release the Read key. Press and hold the Check key for
15 seconds. Release the Check key.
Connect a fresh battery to the lead wire in a single action,
making sure to align the poles properly and without interrupt-
ing contact. If the display remains frozen, repeat the proce-
dure. If this procedure does not solve the problem, refer to the
Service for Your Meter section.
