OPERATION

The PR-8

2

interacts with the operator through the membrane keypad

and the LCD display. The functions of the various keys on the keypad are

detailed below, followed by an explanation of the display and its various

symbols.

The Keypad

This key is used to turn the PR-8

2

on and off. When the tool is turned

ON, it will first perform a brief display test by illuminating all of the

segments in the display. After one second, the tool will display the internal

software version number. After displaying the version number, the display

will show "0.000" (or "0.00" if using metric units), indicating the tool is ready

for use.

The PR-8

2

is turned OFF by pressing the ON/OFF key. The tool has a

special memory that retains all of its settings even when the power is off.

The tool also features an auto-powerdown mode designed to conserve

battery life. If the tool is idle for 5 minutes, it will turn itself off.
