Button Operation
Perform reading and menu/option navigation with the six buttons arranged around the
display screen. Each button has a unique symbol for performing a specific operation.
On/Off
Controls the instrument’s power status when it is not in the docking station. As an added
feature to conserve battery life, the instrument automatically powers down after five
minutes of nonuse. The On/Off button must be used to turn on the instrument after an
auto power down.
Tab Down
Advances the highlighted bar (reverse image) to the next available “tab stop.” A tab stop
indicates an item that can be acted on further, such as a measurement or an edit option.
Tab stops generally follow a left-to-right or top-to-bottom sequence. When the last tab
stop is reached, the next button press returns to the first tab stop in that menu's list. The
button is also used to increment numeric values in the Reference mode.
Tab Up
Performs the same function as the Tab Down button except in reverse order. Tab stops
follow a right-to-left or bottom-to-top sequence.
Enter
Used to activate/select the control chosen (highlighted) with the tab buttons. If the
control can be set on or off, pressing the button toggles the option between on and off.
Back
Backs up the instrument screen one menu level. For example, if an option or value is
being modified at the time the button is pressed, the edits are aborted and the previous
screen or menu appears. The only exception to this is when the Enter button is used to
toggle an option. In this case, the Back button exits the menu without aborting the
setting.
Read
Initiates a reading when either Read button is pressed and both read switches are
activated.
