Using the Keys
Press each key firmly; the Analyzer responds to a
recognized key press with a beep. Generally, you can exit
one function by selecting another function. Press the B
and C navigation keys to cycle through multiple
functions accessed from one key. Relevant functions for
the two softkeys (F and G) are identified in the
display immediately above these keys. When text entry is
necessary, quickly press a key to cycle through the
characters it accesses. Pause to accept the present
character and move to the next entry. Think of text entry
as text messaging, as you would encounter on a cell
phone.
Note
If the Zero warning screen appears at any time,
follow on-screen directions and then press G;
the interrupted function will continue
automatically after the zeroing procedure.
WWarning
Make sure pressure is set to zero before
disconnecting the High Pressure Adapter.
Exposure to high pressure could cause
personal injury.
