Quick Start
Quick Start
The PosiTector RTR powers-up when the center navigation
button is pressed. To preserve battery life, the Gage powers
down after approximately 5 minutes of no activity. All settings are
retained.
To ensure best accuracy, the user will be required to zero
the probe every time the Gage is powered-up. It is therefore a
good idea to clean the probe regularly with the included cleaning
card. Cleaning is best performed when the Gage is powered down.
NOTE:
With the Gage powered down...
1. Clean the probe with the included cleaning card. (pg. 7)
2. Power-up Gage by pressing the center navigation button.
3. Zero the probe. (pg. 10)
4. Measure the included check shim to verify accuracy. (pg. 8)
5. Measure the burnished replica tape. (pg. 7)
