H0.00 should be displayedin the ATTENUATION(dB) display
Step 3: Push the SET REF button.
HThe SET REF button shouldnow be backlit;the MODEbutton
should not be backlit.
HCheck that the WAVELENGTH(nm)display is showing “SEt”.
Step 4: Adjust the numerical value displayedin the ATTENUATION(dB)
display by manipulatingthe CO ARSE and FINE knobs; the coarse knob
should increment ordecrement the value by 1 dB per detent; the fine
