To gain access to the battery compartment, remove the
Phillips head screw securing its cover in the back of the

orientation, using the polarity marks on the inside of the
compartment as a guide. Don't forget to install the batteries
over the ribbon, which makes it easier to remove them later.
Replace the battery compartment cover, tucking the end of the
ribbon under it, and secure it with the Phillips head screw.

MEASUREMENTS IN CONTACT MODE
Before using the PCT2236B on actual equipment, General
suggests that you familiarize yourself with the way the
instrument measures, stores and recalls speeds by spinning
the tachometer's shaft by hand. By simulating readings you
can expect to see in practice, you will safely gain expertise

Cradle the tachometer in your right hand. Move the function
switch (callout E of Fig. 2) to either the "m/min" or "rpm"
position. Then press the Measurement button o n the right
