Preparing the Meter for Operation

1. Insert the batteries

DIGI MASTER requires 2 pcs of AA
size pen-light battery (1.5V x 2).
(1) Open the battery chamber cover by
sliding it in the direction of arrow.
(2) Insert the batteries carefully aligning
(+) and (-) polarities as indicated
inside the chamber.
(3) Replace the cover by sliding it and
inserting its notch into the slot of the
meter.
< NOTE >
• After changing the batteries, please
switch the meter ON once, and then
OFF. It prevents the unexpected
battery consumption that may occur
depending on the status of electric
circuit of the meter.
• When not using the meter for a week
or more, remove the batteries from
the meter. It prevents any internal
damage arising from battery leakage.

2. Checking the batteries

Check the battery capacity before using
the meter. A weak battery does not
assure the correct light readings.
(1) Slide the power switch to ON
position. Then b.c. and dot symbol
marks are displayed for about
0.5sec. to indicate the battery level
(Fig. 1). If the battery is too weak to
give a correct light reading, the b.c.
mark flashes.
(2) After checking (for about 0.5sec.),
the display is automatically
changed to the measuring mode
(Fig. 2). If you wish to keep the b.c.
and dot marks indicating, switch
the meter ON while depressing ISO
key. The marks keep indicating
until you stop depressing the ISO
key
