Using the Holster
The Meter is supplied with a snap-on holster that absorbs
shocks and protects the Meter from rough handling. You
can turn the Meter over in the holster to protect the face of
the meter from scratches when carrying the Meter.
Caution
For best mechanical performance, the
Product must remain in the holster at all
times.
