The ON/OFF key is used as follows:

4.6 HOLD function
When the HOLD function is active, the word “HOLD” appears at the bottom of the LC display. The display is
frozen and shows the values that were either last measured or last calculated at the time the ON/OFF key was
pressed. Likewise, communication with the ROTRONIC HW4 software is frozen. The ENTER key can still be
used to change the parameters shown on the display, but the values are not updated.
The HOLD function is automatically disabled whenever the instrument is turned off. The values that were
displayed while the HOLD function was active are not memorized and are lost.
WARNING: while the HOLD function is active, functions such as probe adjustment from the keypad should not
be used because both the measured and calculated values are no longer updated.
