Setup - General HWA4214SD User Manual

SETUP

1. Choose the power source. Before using the HWA4214SD, make sure it is powered by
fresh batteries or an optional 9VDC AC adapter plugged into the bottom jack on its right
side (callout 1-12).
To remove the battery compartment cover (callout 1-13), remove the two screws holding it
in place (callout 1-14). Then install six AA batteries in the correct orientation, using the
polarity marks on the inside of the compartment as a guide. Replace the cover by replacing
the two screws.
2. Install an SD card. To prepare for setup, also install an optional SD memory card of
1 GB to 16 GB capacity in the socket on the bottom of the instrument (callout 1-9). When
installing the card, make sure its gold contacts are facing front and push the card into
the socket until you hear a click. To remove the card, push it in until you hear a click and
the card pops out.
Now power on the instrument by pressing the POWER/ESC button (callout 1-2) to generate
a short beep. (To power off the HWA4214SD, press the POWER/ESC button and hold it until
the instrument responds with a long beep.)
When the instrument powers on, a series of transient startup screens will briefly appear.
Once the display has stabilized, perform the following eight setup steps in the order
presented.
3. Set the date and time. Press the SET M button (callout 1-5) and hold it for at least
five seconds, until the word "dAtE" appears in the center of the display, along with the
flashing value "00.00.00" at the lower left, above "yy.mm.dd".
Set the current year by pressing the SET M or LOGGER
correct value appears above "yy". Quickly (within three seconds), press the REC/ENTER
button to store the setting. The next screen that appears will have the value above "mm"
flashing. Use the SET M or LOGGER
the REC/ENTER button to store the setting. When the next screen flashes the value above
"dd", again use the SET M or LOGGER
the REC/ENTER button to store the setting.
(If you press buttons too slowly in setup mode, the screen will revert to the normal display.
To return to the setup sequence, press and hold the SET M button again. To move ahead to
the next field in the sequence or to the next parameter, press the FUNC./HOLD/NEXT
button.)
Once you have set the date, the display will prompt you to set the hour, minute and second
of the current time. Again use the SET M or LOGGER
values, and the REC/ENTER button to store the settings.
4. Choose a decimal point or comma to represent the decimal division between integers
and fractions (for example, American-style 20.88 vs. European-style 20,88). Once you
have set the date and time, the display will show the word "bASIC" above the phrase
"dEC". Press the SET M button to make "bASIC" (American style) or "Euro" appear in the
upper display, as desired. Press the REC/ENTER button to store the selection as the
default.
