Using the Holster and Flex-Stand

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.

The holster is equipped with a Flex-Stand bail. Some uses of the holster with Flex-Stand are shown in Figure 9.
