The screen where measurement values and
statistics are displayed is called the Reading
Screen. The character size of the measurement
value decreases as additional information is shown
on the display (Figure 5). To maximise character
size, switch off statistics (see Stats on LCD,
page 30) and unlock the softkeys (see SOFTKEYS
LOCKED:, page 21).
