ENGLISH CAUTIONS ON USE 1. Avoid dropping the Indicator. 2. Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or below freezing for extended periods. 3. Avoid shocks to the contact point and spindle.

ENGLISH NEW BATTERY, STARTUP SEQUENCE 1. Each time you put in a new set of batteries, the indicator will go through a startup sequence. See "Battery Installation and Replacement" on pages 25, 26. At the end of the sequence you will need to move the spindle to initialize the measurement system.
ENGLISH 3. When "Cal" is displayed, move the plunger slowly in and out, until the display changes to show the indicator measuring. This movement will calibrate the indicator. 4. This feature will happen each time the battery is replaced. 5. If you don't move the spindle, "Cal" will stay on the display for only 10 seconds and the display will go blank.
