in older models)
The unit will auto power off after 3 minutes of inactivity. A warning "PWR OFF" is displayed
after 1 minute of inactivity. The unit can be interrupted from auto power off by pressing
either the orange trigger or the X (or "Delete") button; pressing either will only interrupt the
auto power off and will neither 'transmit' nor 'delete' any data.

2.2 Entering the Configuration Menu.

To enter the configuration menu, where Magnet Type, Calibrate, Units, and Radio Menus
are stored, use the following button presses starting from when the K-METRON is in the OFF
state:
1. Hold down the X button (or "Delete" button in older models) and switch the unit on
by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Continue to hold down the X (or "Delete") button, the display will read "Wait ...
Setup mode".
3. Continue holding down until the display reads "MAG TYPE" then release the X (or
"Delete") button. (Ensure that the orange trigger is not being mistakenly held down).
4. Once the display reads "MAG TYPE", the unit is now in the Configuration Menu.
