Preparation
1.1 Battery
The STARLITE 2 works with a 1.5 V AA battery
(Alkaline-manganese.
When the battery is running low, the
BAT
display
appears in addition to the measured values as a
warning to the user.
At this stage, it is advisable to replace the battery as
soon as possible.
When
BAT
appears on the display alone,
measurements can no longer be taken.
Replace the battery immediately.
To replace the battery, open the battery compartment
of the STARLITE 2, remove the old battery and insert
the new one. Observe the "+" and "-" polarity! Please
close the cover of the battery compartment.
1.2 Self-test
After the new battery has been inserted, the micro-
computer will carry out a self-test. Here, every display
segment of the display panel appears. The self-test
takes about 10 s. It can, however, be interrupted
before by pressing any button.
As soon as the self-test is complete, the factory preset
standard settings are activated.
