    Setup mode is an operating mode specifically developed for testing the GSM signal quality in the final installation position of the myDatalogGauge 3G . Setup mode can also be used to execute the zero point adjustment of the sensors (see "Zero point adjustment with the help of setup mode" on page 57). Setup mode is activated by holding the magnet to the reed switch for at least three seconds.
