5 Setting of Zero Reference When using the probe for the first time, after a battery exchange, with varying applications, or after a long period the probe was not used, it is necessary to take a zero reference. Press the !- key. Then place the probe on one of the reference plates in the case or on an appropriate uncoated Fe- or NFe-substrate. A control number is shown in the display. Then lift the probe off by minimum 5 cm (2"). After a second control number appears shortly in the display, it switches to 0.

7.3 Memory Mode With this option the memory mode is switched on or off. Also configuration and handling of the batches is controlled. After pressing key ! the cursor moves to the active item of the following menu level: - "OFF", if the memory mode is switched off or the active batch in the memory mode 7 Menu The Structure of the menu is shown on the first two pages of the instruction manual. It contains all possible options. Depending on the version of the gauge only part of these options is available.

7.1.1.4 Selection of User-Specific Calibration On this menu level all specific calibrations are listet below the option "New Calibration". To scroll through the list use the keys ! and ". By pressing key # the corresponding menu is opened. The activated calibration is marked by a dot right to the name. 7.1.1.4.1 Activation of User-Specific Calibration The selected calibration is activated by pressing #. A warning is displayed, when this calibration has not yet been performed.

7.5.1.2 Resolution - The resolution of the readings can be adapted to the application. E.g. on surfaces with high roughness the resolution should be reduced because of the higher variance of the readings. The resolution can be "coarse", "normal" or "fine". 7.5.1.3 Backlight In the "AUTO"-mode the backlight is turned on for about 7 seconds when a measurement is taken. The backlight can be switched off permanently selecting "OFF". Switching off the backlight extends battery life time. 7.5.1.
