3.  PREPARATION FOR USE 

3.1. INITIAL 

CHECKS 

Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical 
point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument is delivered 
undamaged. However, we recommend generally checking the instrument in order to detect 
possible damage suffered during transport. In case anomalies are found, immediately 
contact the forwarding agent. 
We also recommend checking that the packaging contains all components indicated in § 
7.3.1. In case of discrepancy, please contact the Dealer. In case the instrument should be 
returned, please follow the instructions given in § 8. 
 

3.2.  INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY 

The instrument is supplied with 2x1.5V alkaline batteries type AAA IEC LR03, included in 
the package. When the battery is flat, the symbol 

” 

appears on the display. To 

replace/insert the batteries, see § 6.2. 

 
 

3.3. STORAGE 

In order to guarantee precise measurement, after a long storage time under extreme 
environmental conditions, wait for the instrument to come back to normal operating 
conditions (see § 7.2.1).
