Silent Mode 
 
In Silent mode the device does not transfer measured data even if a PDA is connected. The 
data is still saved to memory but immediately marked as sent. The display shows three dashes 
(---) in the top right corner when in Silent Mode. Press MEM and FUNC for 2 seconds to 
switch silent mode on and off. 
Pressing CLR and MEM for 2 seconds marks all measured data as sent without entering 
Silent mode. 
 
 
Charging the Battery 
 
To charge the battery, a 5V source must be connected to the charging connector in the battery 
compartment. Any phone charger with a micro USB connector will do the job. 
 
The battery indicator in the display shows the actual battery level. It flashes when a charger is 
connected and stops flashing when the battery is fully charged. 
 
 
Device Information 
 
The FUNC key can be used to show a sequence of information screens. FUNC key in idle 
mode shows the first screen. FUNC again navigates from one screen to the next. Use the 
SMART key to return to the previous screen. 
 
Screen 1: Battery 
Shows the actual battery voltage and the battery chemistry used for the battery level indicator: 
“LI” for LiPo or “AL” for Alkaline. 
Press the FUNC and SMART keys for 5 seconds to change the battery chemistry. Be sure to 
use the correct setting: 
LI (default) for a built in rechargeable battery or AL for AAA primary cells. 
 
Screen 2: Versions 
Shows the hardware and firmware version numbers and the serial number of the device. 
 
Screen 3: Display Illumination 
Shows the display illumination level (1 - 10). 
To change the level first press the PLUS and MINUS keys for 2 seconds to allow editing. 
Then press the PLUS or MINUS key to change the value. 
To switch the illumination off completely, use REF + PLUS option mentioned above. 
 
Screen 4: Endpiece Offset 
Shows the actual endpiece offset in mm (-128 - 127). 
To change the level first press the PLUS and MINUS keys for 2 seconds to allow editing. 
Then press the PLUS or MINUS key to change the value. 
Changing the offset is useful for self-made endpieces or other cases where a non-standard 
reference is used.
