simultaneously. The meter
is in calibration if it displays 11.1% +/-0.2.
When checking calibration, there is no need to disconnect the
external electrode, if attached.
If you check the calibration and the display does not read
11.1%, it is likely an indication of a low battery. If this
occurs, change the battery immediately.
Continued use with a low battery may cause the meter to go
out of calibration. If you have a fresh battery and the instru-
ment still does not indicate an acceptable calibration, return
it to DELMHORST for service. See
Service for Your Meter
section.
Note:
When the battery is removed and then reconnected, the meter
displays its software version for one second and then turns
itself off. After replacing the battery, you must reset the meter
as described in Resetting the 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:
