ON/OFF Button and Memory (see figure 39)
To turn the display ON:
Press firmly on the ON/OFF button 2. Note: The digital carriage’s display 5 maintains a memory of the unit mode it was in when last turned off. When turned on, the display 5 will show the last measurement it was at when previously used. This memory is desirable because of the Automatic Shut Off feature (see below)
-when the fence is left at a preset position and the user turns the carriage back on to continue use. If the user wishes to start with the display 5 showing a zero measurement, then the RESET button will be used.
To turn the display OFF:
Press firmly and hold down on the ON/OFF button 2. To avoid accidentally turning the display off, the button needs to be held down for
