Chapter 1: About the AR5000
How to Carry & Hold the AR5000
You can use the AR5000 with two different types of carry
straps. One strap allows you to sling the unit over your
shoulder for hands-free carrying, and the other makes it easy
to hold the device in one hand while you are reading meters.
Straps on the AR5000 Both the hand strap and the shoulder strap attach with clips
to the attachment points at the top and bottom of the
AR5000. Use the clips on the end of each strap to connect to
the device, as shown in the illustration.
When you are carrying the AR5000 with the shoulder strap,
you do not need to hold the device in your hands while
walking. However, you do need to hold the device in one
hand to operate the controls, enter any information, or
search for data.
