To prevent the unit from being operated by mistake

To avoid operations being started by ac- cidentally pressing the buttons, use the hold function.

Move the HOLD switch to the safety posi- tion (direction indicated by the arrow).

When the unit is in the safety mode, pressing the buttons will have no effect.

When the battery is completely dis- charged, the whole battery indicator will flash. Recharge the battery or replace the alkaline battery with a new one.

When the battery has completely run out, “Lo BATT” will appear in the dis- play. Then, the power will be discon- nected automatically.

Notes:

When the AC adaptor included with this unit or an optionally available car adaptor is used, the battery indicator will not be shown.

The number of bars shown in the battery indicator may increase or decrease, de- pending on the operation being per- formed. This is normal.

When the rechargeable battery and the alkaline battery are used at the same time, the rechargeable battery is used first, and then the alkaline battery.

Since the battery indicator shows the re- maining amount of the particular battery being used, the number of bars will in- crease when the unit switches to the al- kaline battery.

To cancel the safety mode, move the HOLD switch away from the safety po- sition (the opposite direction of the arrow).
