Power on

To power on the GR-100, make a LONG press with the front panel push button. The STARTUP screen is
displayed for approximately 5 seconds:
• GR-100 is the instrument model number
•
1V7 is the current firmware version installed in the unit
• #3284 is the unit's serial number
During the start-up the unit performs a series of internal self-testing procedures and verifies that the
alarm indicators are functioning. You can observe the following:
• BUZZER beeps (if enabled)
• RED light flashes as a lamp tests
• YELLOW light flashes as a lamp tests
• VIBRATOR vibrates (if enabled)
The unit recognizes during the start-up procedure if the battery was replaced and proceeds with
additional tests and set-up procedures. During those tests you have to select the battery type to assure
proper operation.
The SHORT press advances display to the next battery type selection
(RECHARGEABLE). The LONG press confirms the selected battery type and
continues the power-up sequence. The next warning will be displayed if the
remaining capacity of the battery is less than about 5 – 10 %. It is possible to
continue using the unit for a few hours, but it is recommended to change or
charge battery soon.
NOTE: To save remaining battery power, the backlighting cannot be activated
when LOW BATTERY is displayed.
If you continue using the unit and the battery becomes completely discharged,
the following screen is displayed and the unit is turned OFF.
If battery was not replaced within one minute, or after the first power-up, the
Set Date/Time screen is displayed before battery selection is requested.
To set the date, SHORT press changes the year (YY) and LONG press confirms
the selected setting and moves the cursor to month (MM) and than to day (DD).
After confirming the Day setting, the screen changes to time setting.
The setting of the hours (HH) and minutes (MM) are analogous, the seconds are
only displayed but it is not possible to set them. The procedure continues via
selecting the battery as described above.
