Preparation
1.1
Battery
The Starlite works with a 1.5 V AA battery
(Alkaline-manganese or corresponding
rechargeable battery).
When the battery is running low, the
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
appears on the display alone,
measurements can no longer be taken.
Replace the battery immediately.
To replace the battery, open the battery compart-
ment of the Starlite, 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.
Warning!
Do not view and do not aim the meter
directly at the sun
You may not only damage your eye, but also ruin
the light-sensitive cell.
