The instrument is turned off after two short pressing/releasing the START button, while no voltage can be applied on the test tips. The instrument enters power saving mode (reduced display brightness) after about 30 s of inactivity (no key pressed, no voltage applied on the test tips).

  • Page 9: Measurements Of The Particular Functions

    GIGATESTpro • Before starting the measurement by the START key reliably connect the test tips with the measured object. During the measurement neither early disconnect the test leads nor interrupt the connection with the measured object. Doing so may cause displaying of incorrect values. Fig.

Disconnect both test tips from tested object and turn off the instrument before removing the batteries compartment cover or before connecting jack to the socket for accumulator charger! The instrument must not be put into operation without the batteries compartment cover properly fastened by both screws! The instrument uses four AAA either alkaline cells or NiMH accumulators.

  • Page 22: Charging Of Accumulators

    GIGATESTpro 4.1.2. Charging of accumulators For charging of accumulators use only adapter supplied as optional accessories! Accumulators are charged as soon as the adapter is connected to mains and to socket for accumulators charger (see Fig. 2.1). If accumulators are fully discharged, the charging takes about 6 hours (applies to batteries with a capacity of 800 mAh).
